Sometimes I think people view the source first without critically thinking about the content or context of what's said.

blankall says all generalizations are racist. Really? That's about as broad a stroke I've ever seen. If that is the case then my previous point stands in that literally everyone, everywhere is and are racist / racists. Diluting racism to that extreme strips down the words' efficacy in making real change for shaming most people into self-reflection, acceptance, tolerance and the rejection of prejudice- which is what this is about. I don't think Rogan is being intentionally prejudicial with that statement- the same way I don't think Trudeau is a racist for painting his face black. Specifically based on Trudeau's history and who he is and what we know about him- is he racist? Of course not. Same thing here.
Blackface is not racist, it is offensive, people that dont care or dont know they are offending black people are either racist or stupid but blackface itself isnt racist
