I’m curious what context you think there might be where blackface wouldn’t be offensive.

I think you might be missing my point. I was speaking in generalities.  Just because someone takes offense to something, doesn't necessarily mean it is offensive. Even, black face. If black face was portrayed in a historical sense, it would not be offensive. It's something that used to happen, talking about it, or showing it, is not offensive. People might not like it, but so what?
