Why is it white men in black face is offensive, but the Wayans brothers in white face in a movie titled “White Chicks”, isn’t offensive?

Maybe the Wayans brothers would be offensive if there were 400 years of history of whites being made to look like sub-human buffoons in American popular culture.

“Maybe the Wayans brothers would be offensive if there were 400 years of history of whites being made to look like sub-human buffoons in American popular culture.”

So, racism is ok if someone in your linage has been a victim? By the way, not a single African-American alive today has been a slave.

So, since blacks have spent years being racist towards Asians, Asians are free to mock blacks anyway they see fit?

Your thinking is flawed.

Do the 400 years of history of the Irish being made to look like sub-human buffoons in American popular culture count?
