Americans are definitly very sensitive regarding racism against blacks. Which sometimes crosses the line into positive (reverse) racism, see black history month or leads to absurd situations like the following

These morons probably would nt even consider their black faces as racist and it is a thin line to be honest. Dressing as "blacks" as such may be racist (especially in this context ), but dressing as a black individual (like the kid above) can not really be considered more racist than dressing like a white one.
