I've seen in the news lately that a lot of people have been getting in trouble for "blackface" controversies. It has come to the point where even wearing a blackface Halloween costume or supporting someone who does can cost you your job

There is a movie called "White Chicks" where two black police officers dress up as rich white chicks, and that is considered a good, funny movie by a lot of people. It seems to me that if a movie was made called "Black Chicks" where two white police officers dressed up as poor black chicks, that would be considered extremely racist, and everyone involved would probably be publicly ridiculed and lose their jobs over it. So if it is inherently racist to dress up as someone from another race, why is the movie "White Chicks" acceptable?

I personally view both as equally racist. But I think not everything that is inherently racist is necessarily evil. I think comedy and flattery can be racist but still inherently good or funny. So I think "White Chicks" was a racist movie, but there were still funny scenes in it

Im all for Halloween, i trick or treat.. and everything but i found out recently that apparently the majority of Australia is against this "American culture" when actually Halloween originated from the Uk.. so again what..

And why hate it anyway.. all it is is walking around in costumes with friends and getting candy, nothing wrong with that
