"Blackface is never ok"

Yet the film white chicks gets to exist because racism only works one way

Funny how unoffensive that is to me.

I wonder if that's because white stereotypes are so tame (that being the butt of the joke), or because white minstrel shows were never a thing.

I'm not offended by it either. Just pointing out 2 wrongs don't make a right. When comedians like Nick Cannon, The Wayans bros and Dave Chappelle use "white face" it makes people justify the use of black face. So even though most of us don't find white face offensive it still perpetuates the problem.
