Chino's character, which can be prominently seen in the film's trailers, show him consistently trying to take Downey Jr. Jackson's African-American character, Alpa Chino. Let me emphasize that I cannot speak on behalf of any demographic group that might be offended by Downey Jr.'s performance, but for me, his role is made palatable due to two factors: 1) His considerable skill as an actor, which allows him to walk the razor-thin tightrope between hilarity and offensiveness, and 2) The presence of Brandon T. be able to play a character whose mere visage was so racially charged? Nonetheless, white cultural appropriation continues to be evident in both obviously crass and insidiously subtle ways, from the baffling slogan for McDonald's all the way to the team insignia of certain baseball teams.
It can perpetuate negative stereotypes and cheapen those things that are otherwise revered and respected. When cultural elements are appropriated and converted into stereotypes to get a laugh, to sell tickets, or to sell a product, it has the potential to be demeaning and offensive to the subordinate group.
