Is 'blacking up' racist?

[figozz]

If no-one took offence to racist remarks or gestures, racism wouldn't exist.

Things only become offensive when someone takes offence to them.

I dont let anything offend me.

Well, apart from manners... I hate people with BAD manners. Oh and littering... no need for it. It's yobish behaviour.

...it's all about the context.

Thank you.

Racism is what "we" believe it to be.

And just for the record. Racism is the belief that one race is inferior or superior to the other.

Racism is nothing more than another form of judgement (ill or positive). It has been around since the dawn of time and will forever remain. The sooner the PC lovers accept this the better!

Just for the record re: medium brown etc, I have opted for dark brown snazaroo.

That's what I used when I went as Moss fro the IT Crowd

Well I obviously couldn't have the black one, but I'll admit the German edition piqued my interest

Thought it only appropriate to finish this thread off with the final result. No negative comments and plenty of L4D recognitions. All-in-all an awesome night!

No because it's fancy dress.

Not according to these kids....
