ok, I'm going to throw something else into the mix!
If you have ever seen "Sayonara" (you should if you haven't - young Brando = YUMMY), Ricardo Montalban plays a Japanese man although he obviously isn't Japanese. He doesn't mock the culture in any way. Hollywood did this type of thing often up through the 1960's. (I am guessing it was as much a cost saving measure as anything, as these were the days when actors were under contract) Would you consider this equivalent to blackface, or is it an homage?
