Lol! That is funny stuff there man.

Now that I think about it, more people were offended by the liberal use of the word "retard" than Downey Jr.'s blackface in that movie....

Probably because the blackface was used for parody. Had they used it for its original intent, the studio would be a smoking crater and Downey Jr would be hanging from a lamppost

LOL! I get the reference. I this neighborhood I was considering using a skin darkener to make myself look more Latino, but no matter what I try I still get marked hostility from most youth anyway for being "Old." I just can't win.

Probably better, if they found out you're using a skin darkener, they'd see it as a direct provocation

So true.

Funny thing, I was JUST watching tonight a program called "It Was Alright In The 70s" where they looked back on what godawful shit people watched in the UK in the 70s.


...for some reason Scottish AND black people were insulted in the same breath and the same fucking sketches which puzzles the hell out of me. Like, okay you wanna be racist to everyone outside of your little English empire but WHY Scottish and black people specifically?

I assume because they're the English favorite targets for their colonialists bullshit? But that still leaves out the Irish and the Indians

Oh they get picked on too, obviously, but as separate nationalities.

It's just that for some reason there's a very common joke thing about a black Scotsman SPECIFICALLY and it throws me the hell off, like it was CONSTANTLY a thing in the 70s

That IS weird. The only people of color I saw in Scotland were Indians.
