Look up Julianne Hough and Antoine Griezmann blackface.
Niether do you I might add.

And this is NOT blackface, so lose that narrative if you want a rational discussion.

I just don't believe for a second that any significant portion of the black community would find anything remotely offensive about this particular incident. At least those with a modicum of logical and critical thinking abilities, of which 99.9% are I would guess.

Logically, critically, even emotionally...there is just nothing to be offended by other than the fact a white person is portraying a black person in a very light and fun way.

Unless the suggestion is that no one should be identified as black because they are black that is, and again, that makes no sense whatsoever.
