| I saw a guy this year doing black-face Mr. T, and it was alright with his black friends. It's a little scandalous but if we're talking about just blacking out your face and dressing as a famous black person without giving it a negative twist, no big deal.
Robert Downey Jr. did that black character in Tropic Thunder (though some say he might have "deserved" an oscar (he was nominated) but guess that you can't get one if you're playing a mentally retarded or black person.
Agreed, it's all media turning it into a big thing that I don't think it should be.
