It was satirical, and addressed numerous times in the movie. They were taking shots at how Hollywood would cast a white actor in a minority role, and the measures the "elitie" white actor would do to bring "authenticity" to the role.
“Nah he was pretending to be black that shyt simply racist”

This poster purposely ignoring the nuisance and the joke.

I listened to enough Jamie Foxx on Foxxhole to have a good idea that a movie he's directing with a white actor playing a Mexican will have almost ZERO nuance

If RDJ's scene or scenes could be filmed in one day like the article says, he's probably only in it for under 5 minutes.

And if in under 5 minutes there's enough in there to get a whole movie shelved...

full

Exactly. The problem isn't just that Jamie Foxx (and shyt, probably even Robert Downey Jr) seem to have missed the joke with Tropic Thunder, it's that the movie probably isn't fukking good.

The Flash is a menace to anyone west of the Mississippi that's under 18, and even read the words "non-binary" once, and DC will find a way to get that Flash movie out. The odds of people caring about a movie built around Jamie Foxx and Jeremy Piven at those point in time are low, even if it was an hour and a half of them making jokes about their rebuilt hairlines.

i mean, white mexicans exist. Just like in any nation in Latin America. I think the issue is more on mexican heritage than race.

I believe actors should act imo. As long as the role isn’t a big stereotype.

Dunno how ppl keep missing the entire point of this.

He went to absurd levels to not be hit with the "blackface" tag, but it still objectively was.

People still misunderstanding Tropic Thunder. :mjlol:

Downey was even playing a australian white man in tropic thunder. After tropic thunder came out joel edgerton a white blue eyed australian man played rameses who was a black african in that exodus movie. Tropic thunder as ridiculous as it is has a lot of truth in it because hollywood really is as ridiculous as the movie.

In general, people just don't understand satire. :yeshrug:
People understand satire. But out of all the jokes they could have done why choose Blackface? :mjpls:

And if he wanted to be so witty with satire he should have dressed up like a Jewish person instead. :sas1: And found out how well that would have gone over.

But they didn't because they knew that "satire" wouldn't be tolerated so they choose Black people instead to mock because k00ns like Jaime will give them a pass.

People forget that the actual black actor in the movie, a stereotypical obsurd rapper, they made him out to be gay.

2 birds with one stone.
