I'm not sure how that would be.
Hoping we can sort through this odd initial reaction to actually arrive at some educated conclusions.
Another one to try to fuel discussion: I have a coworker who, when discussing the Peters incident, says the N word in full when referring to what Peters had said. Everyone around at the time was white. Is that racist?

The reaction is because you’re being purposely ridiculous or ridiculous obtuse.
The educated conclusion should be clear from the reactions.
If you’re surprised that blackface in a costume is offensive, and are concerned dressing like a turtle might also be offensive, you either grasp these issues so poorly that the legwork to get you to a normalised place is not worth anyone’s time, or your being a troll and purposely marginalising these issues, which is also not worth anyone’s time.
Either way, grow up.
