Not really. Like I said, the idea that blackface = racist is an AMERICAN thing. Other countries (obvioiusly Greece) don't observe the same ideals or beliefs.
There was a case a few years back of a group re-creating the Jackson 5 in blackface on some Australian reality TV show... Americans picked up on that and got all offended while the Australians were like "what's the big deal?"
Where was the outrage over White Chicks?
(That said, aside from the blackface thing, she made a damn fool of herself with all the head movements
