Nick Administrator Apr 24, 2015 #3 Does that really offend people? If a black person was to "white up" then I would think "ah they are in fancy dress, nice one". I wouldn't feel any sudden rage.

chiefdave Well-Known Member Apr 24, 2015 #4 I can see how the minstrel thing is offensive but if you're impersonating a black person what's the problem? As you say if a black person was impersonating someone white and did the opposite I wouldn't be in the slightest bit offended.

Nick Administrator Apr 24, 2015 #5 I very much doubt most black people would find it offensive, it is probably just the people who like to be outraged. Maybe people should be banned from dying their hair blonde in case it offends albinos too?
