Yes it is arbitrary. But people's opinions here are arbitrary. We can disagree with each other and I stated why I disagree. If your question is in regards to understanding my reasons, then you need to ask.

No logic needed -- just a keen eye for color.

You know what Lil Wayne looks like? WOW! I didn't think you were into rap?
Let's not get into gradations of complexion. That's retarded. My point is Blackface is a stupid thing to do as a costume.
Doing it would NEVER wind up on my list of proud achievements. But that's just my opinion.
