[QUOTE="muichimotsu, post: 75545328, member: 149131"] If you admit there's a problem, then what is the issue beyond seemingly your acting like there's no cultural problem that marginalizes non-white people? I gave you the study, it's barely been 2 days since I posted that link, post #558 And you're taking selective cherry picked ideas that they aren't, because apparently you want to convince yourself black people are somehow equal to white people in entertainment when it still isn't the case. You think black people wouldn't disagree with you even as a fellow black person about this? What would you say then? That it's just their opinion? Then what's the worth of the discussion when you reduce it to nothing that is remotely able to be investigated in the first place? Pretty sure I never claimed that, so that's another strawman in your massive field. The idea of race is going to be a bit variable, which is why we get the idea of someone looking less or more black, same as being less or more Hispanic, etc. I'd argue it's a more modern development as black people started getting some degree of headway, but it's hardly on the same level and it doesn't have the same impact, given white people are still viewed as a cultural majority anyway. They can brush it off, black people are far less able to do that, even if they can try to act like the stereotypes aren't marginalizing them by the white perspective that dominated culture by your own admission for centuries. How long do you minstrel shows lasted? Over a century by rough estimates, since it didn't really become entirely inappropriate until the 1960s, even if it was really not common after the 1910s or so Being too white is hardly on the level of being black, because a white person can still conform to that appearance and be generalized as such, same as a white passing Hispanic. Where did I say a brown person tried to pass as white? Their appearance is what allows them to pass as white and Hispanic is not strictly a racial identity, it's ethnic, while black is a racial identity along with some degree of an ethnic culture, even if it's more generalized than specific African cultures or something syncretic like Gullah. . And white people trying to pass as brown is not comparable because that borders on blackface and the like, not a situation of genuine cultural understanding, but the very thing I think we'd agree on, that not all costumes are equal, especially when they use minstrel show techniques like brownface or blackface.
