Arabs played by whites with makeup and Latinos?
true, but it is not same as “blackface”. With “blackface”, the intent was comedy via making fun of the the African American face. If I am not mistaken, while the Arabs were played by whites in makeup, the intend was to play them seriously and realistically, and not to make fun of the Arabs.
I don’t disagree. That’s why I put a question mark. Just answering why some might worry that it could cause offense.
And I just wanted to post because it is my pleasure.
I suppose it is possible, in world where a fantasy football auction involving both white and black players is thought to be offensive.
Goddamn pesky blacks telling white people what’s offensive! When will they learn to keep their mouths shut?
Just to be clear, I do not want African Americans to keep their mouths shut when it comes to something that offends them. Even with something like the fantasy football auction. I might disagree with them and say this really shouldn’t bother you imho, but I would never tell them to keep their mouths shut. If something bothers/offends African Americans, I want to know it.
