We can find it tasteless and unappealing, but racist? That depends on context, as does everything. Someone being in blackface isn't inherently racist, but it can certainly be a vehicle for a racist action.

People are so damned sensitive.

Musk has been pumping the promo of late, this and solar city, I hope space x beat out Boeing.

Way to relativize out of context through white privilege. You don't have the right to tell people of color not to be sensitive when it is not a problem of yours.

Tiring.

I have the right to say whatever I want. that's called freedom of speech. And as for your claim to "white privilege", I'm not white :)

So we have the right to call you names?

Lol hide behind freedom of speech when it suits, pretty cowardly.

Go right ahead and insult me. That's up to you. It's against forum rules and you have to abide by them if you want to continue posting here, but that's up to you.

Not really, considering the character in question was supposed to be black because he just came down a chimney.
