Which is stupid I think. I get that the blackface needs to be dropped given


the ugly history of minstrel shows, but wearing reggae attire with dreadlocks? If someone gets offended... f' em. That's their problem. But unfortunately that's not the way it works.

Where I draw the line is
a) blackface, as I said because of the ugly history. It's off limits even if it is not done in a way intended to mock or demean
b) anything that enhances/reinforces negative stereotypes (your "ghetto" example)

I personally wouldn't go there as you say with the Bob Marley costume, just not worth it. But it shows how stupid and uptight we've become.
