RE: Do you think this makeup artist making a white girl black is racist?

It sort of creeps me out a little bit. But, feel like as a white boy who was by chance raised in heavily white-leaning areas, I shouldn't talk about this, but regardless, it's an interesting thread. Sorry if my cold is causing me to ramble incoherently, but, it is what it is.
It does creep me out, and maybe that has more to do with sexual attraction than anything. I've always been 99% physically attracted to white females. Particularly WASPy types. But, by the same token, I don't cheer on white people who make it big in society.
I just find it different than some reggaebro (is that a word? It is now! I've seen them!) in is dreadlocks driving a Land Rover with a Sacred Heart University Rowing sticker on the back. I think I'd be creeped if said reggaebro did the skin pigmentation thing, too. That aspect of it just goes a step beyond a tan. And it just weirds me out.
But if he were in a cover band of UB40 or TV on the Radio, hey, cool. I like TVOTR.
