"The theme was musicians and Tupac is, was and always will be my favourite musician, so I went as him.
"I obviously realise that this is incredibly disrespectful and I want to apologise for all the offence this has no doubt caused"
I'm guessing that if he'd stayed white but still tried to depict Tupac, he'd have been mullered for depicting Tupac as a white man.
Is the message that white people can no longer impersonate black people? Something very different to a generic "black face" I would say.
Is depicting someone you respect, regardless of colour, not in fact a sign of respect?
Is it OK for black people to impersonate white people?
Is our "one human race" not in fact becoming a "black" or "white" world?
