contempory blackface

In tropic thunder, which was made in 2008, Robert Downey Jr. plays an actor playing blackface. Its pretty bad to say the least. He changes his voice, his attitude, and his appearance to what he thinks an african american would play. I mean he goes all out, never steps out of character for one scene. Just as racist as it was in the 20s.
