He doesn't see the harm in painting himself black - he says it's all about the clothes, anyway..

then why not go do it at a place where black people are going to be? i'd venture to say that it wouldn't be taken very well by the black folks at the party. or is this "good clean fun" only going to happen at a place where he's safe? if no one sees the harm in it, then why don't they do it at a place where people who'll be offended are going to be?
