I think with Newman, the intent was to insult based on skin colour. Whether it's American or not, that was the intent. "This is how you're different to us. You got uppity so I am hitting you back with your own black skin." So, **** him.

Red Faces putting blackface in front of an American with an extensive group of black colleagues and heroes and influences was just ignorant with no intention. Proper apologies and understanding followed. I don't really have any point of reference for Trudeau, but people compared his costume of a black fairytale character to GOP people who dressed up in a Klan/black victim tableau and shrugged, "hey sorry it was a different time, why aren't you ripping Trudeau this hard over it? Leftist hypocrisy!"
