And yet painting a black face white as in the recent US movie 'White chicks' is perfectly fine. I understand that racism still exists even to this day, which is a shame, but people need to stop seeing color as the first thing they notice about someone. I think there are a lot of 'isms' that are projected onto situations, including sexism, ageism, and all the others. I'm not saying that it never exists, but I'm sure it doesnt happen as often as a lot of people would like. My interpretation of the image that he used the black paint to isolate and enhance the purple. I doubt it would have received the same score had it been a 'normal' person with a purple tongue. |

Well that's because of two things...
One, it's always HILARIOUS to see a man in drag and put him into compromising situations. Usually these lead to the man learning the err of his ways and that woman aren't always treated the best in society just because they are woman.
Two, it's also 'hilarious' to see black people, especially black men, pretend to be white people. Oh the jokes that can be told because of a black man appearing white...
(/sarcasm off or toungue removed from cheek)
Honestly, out of the two, the first isn't really all that bad, if the story is written correctly, as I have seen on numerous occasions. It's hard to comment on why I dislike the second kind, suffice to say it has very little to do with making fun of 'white culture'. (Whatever that is.) |
