Who are these offended people though? That's what i'm asking, and if its a small vocal group, then should we cater to them if the majority are not? So far who have we heard this from in this incident?
Im not saying no one is offended, anywhere, but thanks for that. Perhaps I am out of touch but through my interactions with the visible minorities in my life, I cant think of a single one who would give this kind of thing a second thought.
I am saying those that have any degree of critical thinking and are not on some sort of agenda, simply could not logically come to the conclusion that something this seemingly innocent could be taken as legitimately offensive.
Someone dressing up as someone else, seems like a really dumb hill to die on as far as racism and oppression goes. How else would she do so without being black when the panel is what it is on that show?
Again, maybe I am dead wrong and this will give rise to a huge backlash from blacks everywhere. I just give them more credit than that though.
