Lots of white actors/celebs are apologising for dressing up as black people in the past.

Especially now after the riots, they are grovelling.

Will the cast of this movie apologise for dressing up as white people? I’m hoping not, because there is no reason any of them should apologise.

I hate racism, but acting as a different race in a comedy is not racist as far as i’m concerned.

Next we’ll be arresting people who do accents that aren’t their own.

Yes, but there is major HYPOCRISY here. People's careers have taken major hits (Julianne Hough, for example)....and have been publicly shamed, made to apologize, for wearing dark-complected make-up for a character they were portraying. Why isn't the same judgement applied to actors like Eddie Murphy....and the actors in White Chicks??

I agree, it is backwards.
