It's also why I didn't think the dark elf "blackface" in the D&D episode of community was offensive, but they had characters in the show acknowledging the negativity of it. Like when there is an episode of a sit com that demonstrates how terrible drunk driving is and downright demonizes it, I wouldn't expect there to be a backlash from people saying "That show HAD drunk driving it it, therefor they are supporting the existence of drunk driving". But outside of those two cases (Tropic Thunder and the D&D Community episode) I am hard pressed to think of any other examples of non offensive blackface usage. Cosplay. Painting faces for sporting events to school colors. Children idolizing black heroes. I mean, there is countless examples. Context matters. It is like calling that girl a racist because she was singing the rappers song on stage with him after she paid to be there to support him and he invited her on stage to sing and a racist slur was I.
