It's not racist. It's a parody of the beginnings of the famous for being famous movement. Chicks like Nicole Richie and Paris Hilton who were socialites.

Two black dudes dressed up as white women acting like stereotypical valley girl bimbos not racist? Hate to be that guy but what if it were two white men dressed up as black women acting like hoodrats? Is it still not racist? Its a parody movie but it's still racist at the end of the day, but like I said, I couldn't give a lesser fukk

There is a history behind both blackface and women stereotypes that negates what you say.

Lets just say two white men portray black women acting like hoodrats. That perpetuates stereotypes that run back into the Jim Crow era, perpetuating the sapphire (from Amos and Andy) stereotype of black women. This stereotype- headstrong, sexually liberal women lacking morals, perpetuates the notion that justified the white man's rape of our foremothers. Slave owners justified their black lovers and offspring by creating a narrative that made black women into hypersexual beings. The loudness comes from the mammy stereotype, who could be loud and loving, and the strong black woman, who is too strong to know her place in a man's society.

Black men portraying white women brings up no such history. There have never been negative stereotypes thrown out en masse by black people to oppress white women. Or white people for that matter.

So it aint the same

It was filled with stereotypes, but wasn't necessarily racist.

If anything, they were just shytting on the dumb blonde cliche

That actually would be racist because there are no actual connotation's of the example you gave being viewed in a positive manner. Even if it takes a shot at the valley girl stereotype. There is nothing inherently wrong with that. Especially two rich, drug doing, socialites like the two females I mentioned before. Now what connotations about hoodrats are positive?
