>The last time I had personally seen something so obvious was in Tropic Thunder, and it bothered me then too.  I can't speak to Alien: Romulus, but Tropic Thunder?!? The movie does blackface and does it in such a way that it isn't offensive. It's just funny. As is Simple Jack in TT. It's over-the-top ridiculous. Sometimes you gotta be able to laugh at things. At the very least, don't take offense where none is offered.
