So the latest big brother racism row hows kicked off the debate on double standards. Here's a nice article "Big Brother race row — Can only white people be racist?"
So, this leads me to a discussion I had with a black friend regarding double standards regarding racism. Specifically, after watching the movie 'Whites Chicks', a comedy (I use the term loosely) about two disgraced male, black FBI agents that go undercover in an abduction case, disguised as the two spoiled white daughters of a tycoon. Both are disguised in full make-up.
So I asked her whether she'd consider it racist for a remake of the movie be made, called "Black Chicks". This version would have two disgraced male, white FBI agents that go undercover in an abduction case, disguised as the two spoiled black daughters of a tycoon. Again both would be disguised in full make-up.
She said she'd be okay with it if it were done tastefully.
So how do two white guys, in full make up, pretending to be black chicks do it tastefully? Are the boundaries different with a "Black Chicks" movie than the "White Chicks" movie?
Discuss.
