You draw this comparison...

Are you seriously comparing a 15th century play as written to what dingbat stripper does in the 21st century?
Then you say that this comparison is unreasonable.

I find your distinction to be somewhat arbitrary.

I mean.. because dressing up like Lil' Wayne is so much more like the KKK wearing blackface while burning down Rosewood than actors wearing blackface to perform in plays written in the 15th century... eh?
