Are we going to start calling ninja costumes blackface because of the mask now? It wouldnt surprise me in this day and age if ninja costumes were racist towards black people. Never mind ninjas were assasins of Asian origin, its still racist towards black people to wear one. That's not even the same thing. Ninja wear masks, blackface involves painting the face black. Paint was used in this so the blackface argument could be used. However I don't really think this is what it was. Japan definitely has a history of being racist and xenophobic, but I think this scene in particular just shows they don't have someone to look over things like we do in the U.S. Jinx was without a doubt an example of blackface. --- The 17th King of the State of K <cite>KStateKing17 posted [p:904652527] in Another Po...
