    They can still be a dude playing a dude, disguised as another dude.

        Me?

        I know who I am

        Quick edit:

        But I feel like this is the most recent example of a white actor using black face in a manner that wasn’t exactly problematic.

        Because as the quote says, it’s not him doing it. It’s the character he’s playing doing it.

        Which is an important distinction, and answers a question that probably wasn’t serious to begin with

            The Yuri Wong song built off the sample of the quote.

            If you listen later and enjoy it, he also uploads a video of making each song. It’s pretty cool shit.
