You're taking about Tropic Thunder? If so, because that's an art piece.

Wasnt the indian chap on Hey Hey doing an art piece when he did his Michael Jackson skit?

What about Michael Richards and his racist tirade? Does he get a free pass because it was artistic?

All seems rather arbitrary to me. Probably the best example i can think of re looking the other way is -

Roman Polanski
 
Yes, judd Apatow gets a pass cos intersectionalism is utterly incoherent and two laws for fat men and fat shaming 😱



You may have heard of intersectionality - "the theory that the overlap of various social identities, such as race, gender, and sexuality, define your level of systemic oppression" - but don't know how to compare your oppression with others. Now, you can!

Can I be accused of being oppressive even if I have a high score?
Yes, having a high intersectionality score doesn't completely immunize you from being called an oppressor.

I don't know all of those examples but I do recall the Hey Hey one. That particular performance doesn't compare IMO. The pushback against blackface is very much about similar contextual use of it in the past that had overtly racist content. Compare that to a film in which the changing of an actor's race through surgery for a role is examined through parody. It's opposite ends of the spectrum.

Outrage at RDJ's "blackface" in Tropic Thunder is the same line of thinking that say comedians can't make jokes involving trans or gay people (e.g. Ricky Gervais at the awards show). It's thoughtless crap as far as I can tell.

Wasn't that written as a troll? I have heard of one mentioned that was. Have a feeling it's that.
 
mine is pretty good, with a cycling focus

Titiana McGrath is gr8, Andrew Molloy or some gay comedian does that
Doyle. Worth watching some of his media appearances. Usually a voice of reason, which is what comedians should be. They are supposed to be the jesters who shroud the uncomfortable truths with humour.
 
Why was it ok for Robert Downie Jnr?
To be fair, Downey Jnr in that movie played the role of a white Australian actor portraying a black soldier through blackface. And it was to show the outrageous lengths his character would go to for a movie role. And his character is called out numerous times throughout the film for being offensive and taking a job away from a black actor. I think that's why Downey Jnr's blackface role escapes criticism compared to others in Hollywood.

I am in furious agreement with you.
