complicated. On one hand you have people insisting that it’s meant to praise not mock, and that there’s unfortunate implications to saying the act of trying to look like someone of another race is disgusting and wrong.

And, like a swastika, once something has too strong a negative association it can’t really be reclaimed that fast.
