That's absolutely not what it was poking fun at with RDJ's character. It was satirizing the arrogance of Daniel Day Lewis type actors who think they can play any role.

I'm Black and while we aren't a monolith so I can't speak for every Black person but I loved RDJ in this role, and I feel like a lot of people missed the obvious satirical critique of Hollywood and actors overstepping boundaries - especially when so many of them are only great in those roles because they lack an internal confidence or identity. Like, his whole character arc was that he didn't know who he was and only after the failure and trauma of the role and the ensuing madness of that movie (in the movie) was he able to finally accept himself.

I'm Black and while we aren't a monolith so I can't speak for every Black person but I loved RDJ in this role, and I feel like a lot of people missed the obvious satirical critique of Hollywood and actors overstepping boundaries - especially when so many of them are only great in those roles because they lack an internal confidence or identity. Like, his whole character arc was that he didn't know who he was and only after the failure and trauma of the role and the ensuing madness of that movie (in the movie) was he able to finally accept himself.

it has become one of his greatest bits of acting in his entire career...
Greatest moment in film history.
"I was a saucier in San Antonio."
Another classic that would never get made today
Iconic roll. As a daywalker, i can speak for both communities and say “that was comedy GOLD”
He played the role to absolute perfection, one of the best characters in any film over the last 20 years
It's crazy when i bought this movie I only watched like the first 30 mins. For some reason couldn't get into it. Then months later😒 I watched it and was very disappointed in myself. Became one of my favorite comedies. RDJ was the only main actor not known for comedy and he hands down was the funniest.

My thought is there was so much put into the character that it couldn’t be confused with racist blackface.

Just a dude playing a dude disguised as another dude. To many layers to be racist lol. It's brilliant.

"What do you mean YOU people?" White dude playing a black dude checking a white dude for saying something completely innocent but taken it out of context and being offended by it. Fucking hilarious!
One of my favorite comedies. For many reasons and performances ✨️ 💖
We, people, love RDJ in the movie it was funny as hell.
The difference is in Tropic Thunder, The race stuff _is the point of the character._ its poking fun at people who take method acting too far rather than african-americans.
He can play both Tony Stark and Rhodes in the MCU if he had wanted to.
Just shows how great of an actor and person he is. 👏
Am I the only one who didn't recognize Tom Curise until I was recapping with a friend and he mentioned it. 😂
One of the best characters in a war comedy, ever.
You see everybody check out these comments Laughter is a beautiful thing and since humans by nature are all flawed there are always gonna be things about us that other people find funny but when we can laugh at ourselves it's that much better as long as something didn't come from a place that had malicious intent or ulterior motives to begin with then we shouldn't allow its destruction The fact that a small few are offended by something Should not mean everyone has to suffer and we have got to start standing up for that especially in the world of comedy it's just crazy that we are allowing A small minority of people to tell us what we can be entertained by you know when I don't like something I just simply turn it off or I choose not to go to a show Having choices is the beauty of living in a free society and I know that not everybody out there sees things like I do and there will be times when I may get offended But I have never felt like someone disagreeing with Me deserves some form of punishment Anyone who does think that way definitely doesn't need to be deciding anything that affects others

Too many people are looking to be offended instead of choosing not to be offended. We all have a choice whether to let something offend us.

Loved him in tropic thunder tbh that whole movie was just brilliant.
I was totally okay with this. RDJ totally understood. There's a difference between being hilariously racist and being hilarious. This was hilarity. But I could absolutely see that people would complain about it today even though I completely thought Lincoln was a real black dude lol I didn't even know that was RDJ when I was 13

Tropic Thunder is the modern Blazing Saddles. It's so amazingly on the point of every note it meant to hit that in 20-30 years it'll still be thought of.
Don't ever apologize for that role Robert
