How dare conversation evolve? You should speak about what you're told too or be silenced.

Who's silencing you? I just asked you a question? If you're uncomfortable explaining your point maybe discussion forums aren't for you?

I mean it’s not like it’s anything new from him, he’s always done stuff like this throughout his career and Little Britain etc.

Not that it excuses it but it doesn’t feel overly offensive because it’s just David Walliams all over

It would've been just as funny with actual Japanese actors playing the sketch.

But Walliams and Lucas play all the roles in their sketches, why change for this sketch?

If they want to play all roles, why write Japanese characters?

That's like saying "Oh, that serial killer's found another victim, but this one doesn't feel too much of a problem, it's just him all over".

I didnt say it wasn’t a problem though, I meant that it just doesn’t feel or look like a problem to some people bc they’re just accustomed to him doing that. Does the problem still remain? Yes. Is it something I’m really going to lose sleep over? No.

Kim Kardashian has also been catching heat for dressing up as Aaliyah which I think, in her case, is unwarranted since she only dressed up as her and didn't use prosethetics or black face to look like her.

It's the use of prosthetics and changing of his skin tone that made Walliams' costume offensive.

Which doesn't add anything to the discussion. Instead of rubbishing others opinions, offer your own as to why you believe them to be wrong.
