So is 'blacking up' when in costume as Aladdin racist? If so, why?

It’s not racist in the slightest in my opinion. The world has gone fucking mad.
As a brown person, i don't think him 'brown-facing' as they've called it is racist, but your take on it is wrong. A white person black-facing has a lot of history behind it, the connotations surrounding it were/are not positive so comparing it to a white person doing the same thing is a poor take IMHO. I'm sure you didn't mean it that way though..I bet it wouldn’t be racist for a black person to white up though would it?
