Not really. I’ve never actually seen the movie, but realize it is viewed as making an anti-racist point. I also do not mean to compare that to the scumbag who is the target of this post.
I just find it interesting that there are examples of when blackface is viewed as being “OK.” Another example is the Roger Sterling scene in Mad Men.
However, even though Tropic Thunder is only 10 or so years old, I wonder if Downey Jr.'s role would be allowed by a big studio if it was done today.
