Oh come on, this is a lot of faux-trage over a movie here. Racism wasn't emboldened by Tropic Thunder or Robert Downey Jr. People that like to pick arguments sure got a lot out of the movies though.
The main reason people went to see that movie is because Robert Downey Jr in black face. I’m not sure if you were paying attention when it was released but that’s all people talked about. They profiteered from black face. If you can’t see how racism is emboldened when it gets paid, then you can’t see shit.
I'm mean that's unproveable nonsense.
To gp's credit, their bio at least lists "Rants and over-reactions."
