Blackface is something which has its own sordid history. We know why that's offensive.
"Redface" has no such history. I don't think portraying the physical characteristics of another race is per se offensive. We need to all be a little less touchy about things. The action the natives are bringing is apparently a "discrimination" action. Who was discriminated against? Did they have a sign at the door which read "People of native ancestry not welcome!" No. Of course not.
This discrimination suit is nothing more than a thinly veiled attempt by some idiots to use the law to punish thought-crime.
I guess the next time anyone holds a toga party, greek/italian student organizations need to stage a protest, right?
