No idea. The fact that Rutland CC admitted they were offensive images and removed them says it all. The character isn’t important that he was trying to be; it’s the reasoning to yourself that it’s ok to do it in the first place. But given the climate of the club it’s hardly surprising that he may have thought it not offensive in the first place.

But, do what? I'm still trying to work out what you think is wrong with a white guy dressing up as a tanned, white character by using fake tan. Nothing about his costume or his skin tone suggest that he's trying to portray a black character.

For the sake of keeping things in proportion. That really does appear to be an attempt at the man from Del Monte, with dodgy tan included. If you think that he is "blacking-up" for that, who do you think he is meant to be?
