this is what my mom did to me when I was 9. it was 2000 >____>

While that seems kinda fucked up, at least that was your mom doing it and you either didn't have much say or didn't know better. This was a grown adult man who should know better doing it.

Despite people online reacting impulsively, I think most people have enough common sense to know that there is a big difference between someone making themselves look darkskinned as a costume that isnt trying to be poor taste or they are doing an impersonation of a specific individual, and people who do it in bad faith to mock and perpetuate negative stereotypes against ethnic groups.

There *might* be (and I can't think of any) a very few instances where changing your skin color to that of another race (where it's being done for the effect of race) for a costume might be acceptable, and neither example of one of them.
