A black man impersonating a western European! Is it racist?

I was about to take a nap, but now I can't sleep lol

What? Did the funky groove make you get up & move?

What?? How does one impersonate a western European. Are you saying black people can't be western Europeans. Don't make a dumb thread like this one again pls.

I thought this would be something recent. This is 1979. LMAO

Come on OP, who cares?

Nah it's like black face & dudes fake beard. Sure there can be black western Europeans but none with Rasputin's facial hair. Which was comically over exaggerated.

No one at the time. That's for sure.

It's probably more cultural appropriation than racism.

Rasputin was an Eastern European, and this song is a meme so it has no hateful intent.

Russia is eastern European/Asiatic.
Also, it is not racism.
This one is awesome:

In a perfectly normal and functional world where people had a common sense, probably not.

But in a reality where people are offended and are insulted by every tiny little bit of the most trivial things, then definitely no, because only white people can be racist.

Eh

Just as racist as Western European impersonating a black man, I guess.

Whether it means "it's totally racist" or "it's not racist at all" is up to you.

Nah.

Racism is a spook

If this is even implied racism then I guess the definition has changed.

It’s 2018. That means the fact that you ask “is it racist” makes you racist.

/s

Black people don’t have the power to be racist so no.

Seems like everything is considered racism nowadays...

This reminds me of one of my favorite videos.

satire?

Maybe, maybe not, gotta keep people guessing.

It's only racist when white people do it.

So many victim complexes to unpack in this thread.

Reeeee white people are oppressed.

You don't know what it is like to be a white man in a world full of haters.

Ik man, it’s hard being white out in this world. The police are always harassing us, there’s tons of income inequality. We’re not making any money, we’ve been oppressed for so long, and I definitley don’t feel this way because someone said mean things about white people on twitter.

Yeah looks a lot like black face to me. I dunno, it’s always less serious when black people are the ones doing stuff like this.

@gunmetalgrey: lol

People in Eastern Europe and India...including the USSR loved this song!

This song- no

Ciri being casted- Yes

So I guess you all guys consider ok Black Panther being a white male right?
