How I met your mother had a kung fu episode where the main actors


dressed Asian with make-up to be more asian and it got a lot of backlash for being racist. I don't remember whether wife did any eye makeup to make her eyes appear more slanted or not. I think black face has such a negativity due to the way black face was used in 19th century minstrel show. Which now causing that to be extended to all color facing, which are all consider as taboo now. Personally, I don't think that should be the case. Jimmy Kimmel in the Men Show did black face to portray Moses Malone, which I found very funny. And I personally think that type of portrayal is ok, as long one isn't using that to degenerate a whole segment of population.
