    Nobody had a problem with that skit or this Tropic Thunder role:

    In fact, people had more of a problem with Ben Stiller’s role playing the “never go full retard” part. Look up actual black face and you see the clear difference.

      You base your understanding of racism on this? It’s like trying to say that being a sexual predator is fine because people like Dennis Reynolds.

      Go out in black face if you’re that confident, see how long it takes for you to get called out for it (im sure you can explain to them that it’s ok because Robert Downey did it). Black face didn’t stop being a hate crime because of tropic thunder lol.
