Going off of memory ... There are thirteen films where they teamed. There may have been a black face scene in one of them. The male/female dynamics were typical of the romantic and or slapstick comedies of their day. As for the rest? People's attitudes were different then. It's okay.

Enjoy the films for what they are ... Beautiful, and don't let other people ruin your enjoyment of them.

Yes, there's one blackface scene (in Swing Time), which is a little cringeworthy, but was apparently Fred Astaire's tribute to a black dancer who had influenced his style, so there was no mean-spiritedness behind it.

I agree with your opinion. I love Fred Astaire's movies so, so much. The man was a genius with choreography and Ginger Rogers was a fine partner for him.

I think you missed the US memo that any kind of darkening your face for any intent, even if it's because you're highly admirative of a dark-skinned character and want to look like them or pay them a tribute, is OMG HORRENDOUS AND RACIST BECAUSE BLACK-FACE ONCE EXISTED.
