Look at this shit with ScarJo right now. It'd be the exact same thing. "Why didn't they just cast a black guy?" it's not racist How is it not racist?

There is nothing inherently wrong with any person of any race putting on makeup to make themselves look like another race. The only time it is offensive is if that person is doing a racist caricature of the other race. <cite>nemu posted [p:905190510] in Would Robe...

I thought Kirk was actually black for a lot of the movie and never realized it was RDJ... <cite>dameon_reaper posted [p:905190592] in Would Robe...
