First Ben Stein
Then Scott Adams,
Then Elon Musk lying about how "the media is racist against whites and Asians."

And now Ben Stiller has something to say as he defends Blackface in his 2008 Tropic Thunder film.

He compares it to the 2003 film White Chicks. I notice that many suspected / open racists online love to bring up the White Chicks movie when doing and/or defending Blackface, so for Ben Stiller to do the same is alarming. Would he be okay if non-Jewish people made a comedy movie about Jewish people with stereotypes?

I am now sideeyeing Ben Stiller because he is very sus to me after using that comparison. 👀



#HollywoodIsRacist
(Don't forget, the 1915 the film The Birth Of A Nation was the first Hollywood blockbuster and inspired and gave another rise to Ku Klux Klan).

Also, just because a movie, show, song, or skit is funny or good (even if it has racist stuff in it) doesn't mean that the people behind it are not racist.

It's time to be honest about the racist undertones of movies such as Tropic Thunder and the racism of Hollywood period.

I recall the NAACP (yes, the white-ran NAACP) approved the movie after a screening and that people have been claiming that the movie was making of white actors and white Hollywood doing Blackface and casting white actors as Black characters instead of Black actors. Many claim that this movie was one of the very few acceptable forms of Blackface done in media.

Do you think many naysayers are reaching?

    I didn't have a problem with Tropic Thunder it was a parody movie and I laughed my ass off as it was making fun of Hollywood and method acting. That's as much negrosplainin as I'll do on the subject.

    I only remember watching the first couple of seconds of the movie but I remember Seiji Hito talking about it and the movie doesnt seem like a minstrel show to me. They're just parodying Hollywood.
