Doesn't really matter. Whiteface, blackface, redface are all just costumes and don't affect my life at all.

It's for shit like this that dominicans get call racists. You should have a bit of empathy to the people that are the butt of the racist stereotyping that are the blackface, redface instead of dismissing it because it doesn't affect you.

Next time anyone thinks something is problematic, they must ask MisterDoctorProfessorX if it affects their life at all. If not, it is not an issue because we all know that MisterDoctorProfessorX is the ultimate word on everything.
lol no one really gives a shit if something affects you personally.

FWIW I'm Dominican living in the US. I just try not to let other people's rules control me or their actions offend me.

Anything that doesn't scream "I'm a victim" is anti black to Marxists.

I feel like it's different when a group that has historically and currently been systematically oppressed mocks their oppressors, than the other way around.
