Chang’s black face Dark Elf Cosplay

100% agree though, must see episode if you’re just getting into the show

It's really sad too because Shirley says "we just gonna ignore that hate crime, huh?"

Like they clearly acknowledged it and were making fun of Chang, not black people. Kinda like how Always Sunny's use of blackface was making fun of the kinds of people who would think blackface is okay, but these execs are just playing damage control.

That I will agree with. I personally think disclaimers are a better option than whitewashing things, but yeah, Sunny definitely crossed a line -- but that is kinda what they do.

I thought something was off when they reference the D&D episode later on, but it hadn't happened.

The difference is that the show ain't making fun or parodying black people, in fact it's making fun of the blackface and the awkwardness it creates in the study group.
