If you can't manage to do Mj or black partner (who's covered from head to toe in a suit) without using blackface, then your costume is shitAnd keep in mind that isnt always in spite, like people dressing up as Mj or Black Panther it is out of respect, theres always going to be racism as long as people see it that way.
Mickey Rooney isn't a fish though.Screenings of Breakfast at Tiffany's have been controversial for decades now because of the infamous yellow face. If you think a movie in 2017 with the same depiction would be laughed off you're living in some alternate universe from the rest of us.
I can't believe this shit is tolerated on NeoGAF. You're gross dude.
Letting go of racism is gross?
Why do you want to continue it?
Ending racism should be the goal.

People ignoring the past and saying shit like,"I don't see color" is far more detrimental to society in general than those paying attention and making a big deal.

How is allowing racist charicatures to exist without criticism in any way ending racism?Letting go of racism is gross?

...................................................whatBlackface only became known 10 or so years ago
By getting people to stop being racist. Not telling people that are victim of racism to ignore it.
That is beyond idiotic.
You don't end racism by not acknowledging it. Have you ever tried to solve a serious problem? You focus on it with all your effort, not look away because its hard.

Letting it just grow wild without criticism and discussion doesnt help even more!Keeping it in the spotlight doesnt help.

Here we go again, PC GAF here to run this into the ground again.
Yes, just like how racial whiteface or asianface is let go by those groups.
Its only a big deal if you make it a big deal.

You....I don't like you
Maybe your hearts in the right place dude but this is a silly stance to take. We don't live in a utopia where we can afford to pretend skin colour isn't important. The president of one of the most powerful places in the world won an election based on the hate people have for one another. Racism won't just go away if we close our eyes and hold hands
Letting it just grow wild without criticism and discussion doesnt help even more!
Im sorry you feel that way.
I agree it wont go away fast and there are a lot of problems especially in America but there has got to be a better way to fix it than splashing it in the media.
When I was younger I got teased for my accent (I know not the same thing) but letting it get to you helps nobody, there is better more important things in life to deal with than what other people think.
It doesnt solve anything though.

I honestly think it's just supposed to be a black fish with lipstick. I mean from what I remember South Park has never portrayed blacks in offensively caricatured forms, so it would be odd for them to start now. Definitely get where people see it though, but I really don't believe that's what they were going for.
Can you elaborate why you think this?
Wasn't paying attention to American culture back then, Blackface only became known 10 or so years ago here when an American celebrity pointed it out on a TV show.
JfcIm sorry you feel that way.

What about Catatafish?
I don't have a stake in the general direction that this conversation is pivoting towards, but I just wanted to say one thing on this particular quote. Ignoring the past is bad, but "I don't see color" is one of the most beautiful things about watching children growing up. It's a shame that at some point, something always seems to happen that shatters that view.
We've tried explaining this countless times over. It's not getting through to many people, unfortunately.. They see blackskinscales + red lipstick and it's automatically mammy.

So your answer is to do absolutely nothing about it ever?Im sorry you feel that way.

If you think that's the extent of racism, you're an idiot. Let me know how that goes when you're beaten or shot by police. Or are unable to get a job.
Hes not black so its a non issue on the internet.
Its different here in Australia, we rarely get beaten and shot by police and we embrace culture.
Govt even has programs to get indigenous Australians into the workforce.
If we can do it, it is possible. You got to start somewhere. Dont sweat the small stuff, bigger picture is far more important.
Ignoring color is ignoring the problems people of color face. It's a useless platitude for white people to feel better about themselves.

Do you have issue with it?
And that's where I stopped readingIts different here in Australia
Oh wow I didnt even know this was a thing. I just thought it was a fish with painted lips because, woman, I dunno.
Also as an Australian you are incredibly ignorant of how the police treat our indigenous population, especially as it pertains to abuse and deaths in custodyIts different here in Australia, we rarely get beaten and shot by police and we embrace culture.

I don't really have issues with stereotypes at all unless they are targeted in a serious way towards someone.
Equating the context and history of black people in America to Australian history makes no sense.

It is incredibly differentThe history isnt that different. White people arrive, take over land, make slaves etc.

Also saying we embrace culture is erasing the HUGE amount of racial abuse thrown towards indigenous and muslim people. The existence of a group like Reclaim Australia and the One Nation party disproves everything youve said
Ah, so it was your cowardly way of shitting on black people who have issue with this.
Good to know.
