Robert Downey Jr. in his negro drag for the movie Tropic Thunder. That's Hollywood for ya. The place where every black woman is played by the girl from destiny's child or Halle berry, and black men played by white men in "black face."

One of the other writers on Highbrid Nation wrote about Robert Downy playing a black man. He worries that Al Sharpton might have something to say about it, lol. Honestly as a black person I think it's kinda cool that movie make-up has gotten to the point where you can make someone look like another race and if the pics I've seen of Robert Downy in costume are accurate than they did a really good job! Plus Robert is a very capable actor so I'm sure he wont come across as stereo typical or offensive. I could be wrong though.
