But in those movies (well, at least in Coming to America, I really haven't seen NP) his character just happened to be white...I think he was just proving he could do it, but he wasn't by any means doing anything "steriotypically white"...he tells a joke and that's about it.
From what I can tell, this movie is made to sterio-type white female blondes... and like others have said... If Jim Carrey and Robin Williams (just pulling two random names) made a movie where they dressed up as two black women and did "black women things" (I can't even think of anything off the top of my head, plus even if I did I wouldn't want to offend anyone) THERE WOULD BE PROBLEMS. Why should it be different the other way around?
