Literally every African-American cosplayer I have seen that has been asked this question says it's stupid - they don't mind people doing dark elf makeup.

I don’t know what any of this means. Man, I’m fricked. Bound to say something that inadvertently triggers an elf or something.

Is this the one where Annie Describes the sex scene with Abed in slo motion? If so, I was literally CRYING LAUGHING

YES!

Where we don't get to hear most of it, but she pantomimes a lot of it :)

Apparently it's still on Hulu.

I heard yesterday that Hulu pulled it too. I checked today and yep, missing.

I really don't know how to comment on how unbelievably racist and unbearable TD has become - See Carl Reiner thread, or most of any threads or replies on any board on TD now, but this isn't a racist episode or show.

Apparently seeing the forest through the trees is too difficult.

And on Hulu they pulled 3 episodes of Scrubs.









And a scene from The Office of Nate for Dwight Christmas has been cut from Netflix and syndication.





Interestingly enough the Cal Turk episode of Scrubs is still up.

this is so fricking dumb

like are people really asking for these to be pulled? and by people, I mean a significant enough number for anyone to actually care?

it just seems to be more about people falling over themselves to show how not racist they are. Admit guilt before the cancel police uncover it and hope for mercy

“The reason why that word showrunner exists in television is because you’re the gatekeeper,” Lawrence said, “and anything that gets allowed on a show you ultimately have to take responsibility for. So, first off, I’m super sorry that any of you guys had to deal with any stuff because ultimately even though we’re all friends and it was a super creative and reciprocal environment, you guys still, at the end of the day, did and were receptive to doing whatever stuff we told you.”

Lawrence said he made the decision to pull the episodes from Hulu’s line-up.

Braff also apologized, and described his mindset at the time the episodes were taped in the early-mid 2000s. Recalling his reaction to Ted Danson’s much-condemned use of blackface at a 1993 Friars Club roast of girlfriend Whoopi Goldberg, Braff said, “I remember being shocked, like what the f*ck was that guy thinking…and I’m embarrassed to say now I never equated” the Scrubs episodes. “I thought ‘It’s a fantasy where I’m trying to be my best friend.’

“When Donald and I started the podcast he mentioned we did blackface on the show and I cringed to hear him say it out loud,” Braff continued. “It made me feel so shitty and embarrassed.”

Said Lawrence, “It starts with ignorance,” adding, “we were so f*cking proud of ourselves for doing a very diverse show, in front of and behind the camera, a great black-and-white friendship that exists as a real black-and-white friendship, a great interracial couple. It was almost a block of arrogance where we were like, ‘We’re so good at what we’re portraying and doing and showing that we could never venture into muddy waters.’ Even now, with that same ignorance, we never really connected the two of those things until now.”

Hey, if we want to move forward not doing black face as we now feel it is offensive, great. I genuinely hope people look and see there was only comedic intent and people should not be tarred and feathered over what was obviously not racist in intent
