>>3734125that's an insane assumption to make, but that aside, Mr. Popo is cuhrazy racist, and honestly when I saw Chuchel I kind of thought the same thing, but nobody else seemed to be reacting to it that way so I forgot about it.
If you look at it historically it's not so much that the design involved in blackface is offensive, it's just that it has been used in the past to demean black people. Minstrel shows were meant to insult African people.
If "blackface" had never been a thing, it would not be a problem if someone "invented" it today. If Mr. Popo, Jinx, and Chuchel existed outside of the context of what that design had been used for in the past, they wouldn't be a problem, but because of this history of what those designs were used for they are basically off limits at this point.
Americans, white AND black, republican AND democrat find blackface offensive. It's like how Nazi flags are illegal in Germany. We as Americans should be asking for respect of our history from the world, the same as other countries do of us. And other countries are more than happy to remove those aspects when we speak up about it. It's in our best interest, and the best interest of all Americans, to keep these things offensive.
