actors should be allowed to do black face. actors should be allowed to do anything they want when acting. this social media liberal idea of
you aren't allowed to play a disabled/queer/foreign/colored/etc character if you aren't disabled/queer/foreign/colored/etc! 
bugs the shit out of me.

My favorite is pointing out that kind of mentality leads to casting r-slurs in the R-slur roles, which then is exploitation of r-slurs, which is theoretically bad LOL

When they should be casting downs syndrome bros in Chad roles in comedies.
We need a version of "Old School" where it's Shane Gillis and a bunch of his brethren being frat stars, and just play it straight

On this day, we all became actors.
But yes, it's even more r-slurred as you see where the lines are. You just have to be Asian to play Asian, but ignore just how many different types of Asian there are and also that they mostly hate each other.
Let actors act.

Heck yeah! We can finally get that Al Jolson biopic that we all deserve.
Mind you, he missed a great opportunity to not only speak up for actor freedom, but also to peddle an Official Billy Dee Williams Blackface Make-Up Kit™.

If you're wearing blackface then you can say BIPOC because at that point why wouldn't you?

Well sometimes you might not be in blackface but you need the word, it's just a little bit of extra insurance is all.

The blackface norm is one of the stupidest woke taboos. It's creeped from clear racialized caricatures to saying that anyone anywhere that darkens their skin to look more African is a racist and there's no mitigating context for this.

There's an episode of the Simpsons where they go to a museum where everything is "negro-faced" except it's not just for black people, everyone in the museum is black-faced. It's such a weird thing to see now.
