  Nothing is inherently offensive. People take offense to things. Sometimes reasonably so. In the scenario you laid out I think it would be insane to take offense to that.

    I’ll say, I made the mistake of wading into this bullshit on a shitpost, so that’s my bad. But this is a shit tier edgelord centrist take. Like yeah there’s probably a handful of people out there that don’t think black face is offensive, way to miss the point of the conversation completely. Go ask the indigenous people in your life what they think about people shitting on their culture for clout at a music festival. Be better man.

      Sometimes it is absolutely reasonable to take offense. Black face is probably one of those times. I think you’re the one missing the point. Also, wearing a piece of clothing isn’t the same as “shitting on their culture”, at all. Crazy how stating obvious truth can be considered an edgelord take lmao. Think better man.

        You can see this idiotic take above, you’re not having this conversation in good faith if you’re representing it as “wearing a piece of clothing”. Black face is just “putting paint on your face” why is that reasonable to take offense to? Do you know the history of headdresses or are you just being contradictory for no reason?

  I’m white and currently wearing a poncho and a sombrero while wielding two pistols. I guess that’s offensive, too?

    I would say ponchos and sombreros are usually worn for their utility, so I don’t think there’s an issue there. But I’d be curious to hear from anyone with more skin in the game than us.

  So can (white🙄) men wear a dress, or will you have a meltdown over that too 😋?

    Why would I have an issue with that? A dress has no cultural significance.

        A historically oppressed culture at that.
