Did someone in here do that? Equate it to this history of blackface and the treatment of black actors? Use it as an excuse to dismiss claims of racism?
They are both racist. It doesn't mean that they are the same. They are equivalent on the level that they are both racist, and that's it. It doesn't have to have some terrible background and long standing history of subjugation and slavery to be considered racism.
Is Rooney's breakfast at Tiffany's racist because of Japanese internment camps? Or is it just plain racist?
