Ash isn't wearing blackface though and the original intent wasn't "let's make fun of black people" it was "Ash dresses like a monkey". If anything you looking at a kid dressed as a monkey and thinking "blackface" is what's racist

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.

real ninjas didn't always dress in black though. that's actually a myth. a guy in all black would be suspicious. actual ninjas usually just had normal peasant clothes on. or maybe a samurai outfit. whatever helped them blend in for the situation. to get in and get out. that is where the myth of them being able to vanish comes from. they would do their thing and then run off and people would not be able to spot them later cause they were experts at blending in. maybe the pursuers run right past them and not realize it's them

It actually wasn't. It's based on a subset of Japanese culture that has nothing to do with blackface. It does, however, end up looking like blackface.

This though doesn't look remotely like blackface, and it is more telling of the people that see blackface in a monkey costume than it is of the episode in question.
