I think he's too thick to have any realisation WHY people might find that offensive.

I think the people who find it offensive are the thick ones

That is so true

Someone is only offensive if they're intending to be offensive...anything else is just a mistake ...if the person is sorry when they realise they caused offence then they can not be called offensive

Meah with show like come fly with me and little Britain does the uk actually care that much about black face? Is it even a big deal here?

Saying that though that costume is a tad bit messy.

He's dressed as a beach seller, bit odd for Halloween but given he has only one brain cell

I don't think it's racist at all, considering his story why

Maybe a bit ill informed of the potential backlash tho!

It doesn't seem to be the same as 'blackface' (the kind that used to be done in a derogatory way) to me, but I can see why people would be upset about it, because it reminds them of that. Still though, I don't think something should be deemed offensive just because it reminds people of something that is offensive. I think intent is very important, and reading the article it does seem like his intent was innocent. (He also doesn't seem to be the brightest person lol, not that ignorance is an excuse when racism does happen, but I can believe that he genuinely wouldn't have thought about the history of blackface and just thought of it as dressing up as someone he'd met, like he says, as a response to them dressing up as him).

He could have just worn the outfit without blacking up and the in joke would have made sense, I doubt the guy who wore his clothes on holiday 'white'd up' for it.


He's an actual hateful moron.

I don't find it funny at all but I don't think it's racist either.

Still think he's a massive idiot though.

Racism is such a serious accusation to make about someone... and the more people misuse it the more it diminishes it

What's the difference between slapping on fake tan?

None.
