Oh absolutely! Actors can portray a wide variety of characters, for sure. As a former actor I agree with you. However I urge you to look up the history of black face in the entertainment industry to greater understand why it can be problematic :)

@@MeganRuth Thank you for your reply. I know the history of blackface in the US, but that was then. I see no problem why one couldn't pretend to be Black in today's world. If, say, some oppressed people were forced to wear purple shirts in the 19th century, why on earth would wearing a purple shirt be problematic now, in the 21st century? We have to learn to let go. What about fat suits? Should only morbidly obese people be allowed to play fat people in films? After all, obese people have been bullied for so long.

When Robert Downey Jr did black face in Tropic Thunder that became one of the best roles of his career!

​@@MeganRuth😂😂😂

Loved the black & white minstrels when i was young .

Ahh I completely forgot about that! So true!!

I think he stayed at her place for a while, too.

Accent and ethnicity are obviously not the same thing. Come on, have a bit of common sense.

Come Fly With Me. It's been quietly forgotten by the BBC (not on iPlayer long deleted on DVD) due to blackface. God I hate the BBC.

@UranusMcVitieFish-yd7oq I that's right they had some great characters &some not so good but it was worth a watch I did watch a few episodes recently but I can't remember what platform. I've just watched TV extras again I really enjoyed it second time around especially, with Kate Winslet, Ricky drinking the fizzy water,knee in g Warwick Davis in the head,Steve merchant the inept agent with Barry that pen sceen , are you having a laugh, is he having a laugh, he's having a laugh.

It was basically cancelled because too many of their sketches involved yellow or black facing and mocking minorities that led to racist bullying of kids in schools. Even the creators apologised for the show and admitted they were ignorant not to realise they many of their sketches were racist and targeted minorities, which wasn’t right for two white comedians to do. BBC and HBO erase the shows from their archives due to the racism. It was at a weird time in the UK media where it basically became less diverse and racism towards minorities in mainstream comedy shows was accepted because it was deemed ‘post modern’ ironic racism.

@@Delboy0 There was nothing racist in little Britain at all, it was just funny. People of all races watched it. It's attacked because it's British humour and everything British gets attacked due to the real racism. If people don't like it then they can go somewhere else. They don't get to come here and demand we change for them. You are pathetic, you used the words racist/ racism 5 times in your comment which is ridiculous. You obviously know what you say isn't true otherwise you wouldn't repeat it so much. And saying too many black and yellow face sketches? I remember ONE Chinese character but don't remember any blackface ...like it even matters, people like you need to stop acting like black people are more important than everyone else. We are supposed to be equal but people like you rank people on their race. You are what you accuse others of.

​@@Delboy0Oh go away, you bore. 😴😴🤤

Megan ain't bad either.

Ha eyes off buddy
