    American culture is interwoven with the black slavery history, most of the rest of the world is not. So no, they don’t have that baggage when it comes to black face or the like. Like you don’t understand the Indian caste system, for example.

    Making them out as racists is stupid if you stop to think about it and not just give kneejerk reactions. Not everyone is as obsessed with race like Americans.

      Because the rest of the world had nothing to do with black people ending up in the Americas and gained nothing from the whole ordeal

      How do you know what I understand about the Indian caste system? Racist caricatures are racist caricatures, even if that culture finds racism to be acceptable. You clowns really love to act like embracing racism is somehow enlightened, goddamn.
