I don't think I watched the blackface episode, but if it was an accident that caused a misunderstanding (basic comedy trope) the joke was on people being over sensitive and raging without knowing and/or purposely ignoring context of a situation (I could as easily say "if you want to do something racist, just claim it was a dark elf"). What was being criticized there became the norm, and the consequences are in this thread - people can't say the name of that Agatha Christie's work in the comments, nor you can have a dark elf in Community, because context doesn't matter.

If i remember Cramer accidentally had to much tanning spray on his face(and didn't look in the mirror I think) or something like that then went to meet his girlfriends black family.
