“His whole background” except for the 13 years he has lived in Japan... I would expect him to know a few things about race relations in Japan. Skin color itself isn’t taboo in the US, racism and offensive things are taboo in the US. Regardless, he is a black person, he finds blackface in Japan offensive. Why do you…

I disagree with your question. Nobody (that I know of) is pretending that other people besides Skywalkers being force sensitive is some kind of revelation, but rather that non-Skywalkers can be key force sensitive characters in a main line Star Wars movie. There have been lots of force sensitive non-Skywalkers in Star…
The “JT writer”? You mean Bay McNeil? The black man who has lived in Japan for over a decade and writes a column about being black in Japan? That guy can’t criticize something in Japanese media without also saying “America does this too”? That is absurd and I hope you know that. He has literally written a book about…
I mean, blackface was pretty much always supposed to be a comedy (see minstrel shows), my understanding is that the offensive part comes from it making fun of black people (as opposed to making fun of a dumb white person or an absurd actor). I’ll try to watch the video at some point to get a clearer picture of what…

I see that you are (incorrectly) picking one example from everything I linked and ignored the remainder and the point I made. I take it that you are just debating in bad faith and can’t really support what you are saying.
I didn’t watch the show, the guy is making fun of himself/people who do blackface by doing black face?
Why do you think the blackface is necessary for cosplay? Surely the people in this link https://cosplay.kotaku.com/the-struggles-and-triumphs-of-black-cosplay-1757730742 and this one http://www.mtv.com/news/2346313/awesome-black-cosplay/ are all cosplaying instead of just impersonating characters. Not to mention all…
“Argh people are now pointing out that they are offended by something. My life is so hard now!!”
I’m white and haven’t studied the history of blackface so I’m talking out of my ass here, but I always saw this blackface from Tropic Thunder (and the blackface used in Always Sunny) as not racist as it is being used to make fun of the white person in blackface as opposed to being used to make fun of black people, but…
I understand what you are saying, but on the other hand, maybe people in non-diverse countries should listen when people who are barely present in their country are offended by things they do? Like, just saying “we have no black people here” doesn’t really seem like a great excuse for offending black people... It is…
Oh jesus fucking christ. That is insane! Even for people who keep celebrating the racist traitors! “We forced you to support and/or die for our right to own you, here’s a statue that celebrates that in a way that makes it seem like you liked fighting for our right to own you”.
With the way the right is going, I wouldn’t be terribly shock if people started raising nazi statues to celebrate the “good people” on the “other side” of WW2.
“We don’t see that’s a problem,” said Chumley, when asked about the lack of evidence. “If they served in the Confederate Army, they deserve to be recognized.”
Where did you get that FTL drives were inaccurate? I figured that the calculations came form you going faster than light speed so you needed the computer to do all the calculations to plot your course so that you didn’t accidentally run into a planet, star, blackhole, etc.
Yeah, I noticed that he felt like he was hurting her at the end of their fights, but never seemed to try doing anything different or really look at how he was treating her. He seems pretty dismissive of any pain he caused her. Of course, it is certainly possible that she was just some mythical snowflake, but people…
I mean, I agree, but are gambling or pot addictions treated as their own thing? They seem more like those mental addictions, it is just that at least gambling has a clearer real world harm to be suffered.
Not to kill the joke, but isn’t it considered theft if you keep extra cash that the bank/ATM gives you? I swear some guy got arrested (or at least sued) after he kept thousands of dollars that an ATM incorrectly gave him (or the bank made a mistake and put too much money in his account, which he withdrew and spent).
