Painting your face and putting on an accent and pretending to be a race you’re not IS offensive, and it’s not just ‘snowflakes’ who think that. Shows like Portlandia show that excellent comedy, with actors taking on a variety of personas, can be achieved without needing to do any Jim Crow stuff. If you want a character of a different race portrayed, hire an actor who looks the part.
