yeah which is why I say it's complicated, quie interesting to see who gets to impersonate who and not catch flak for it, probably depends on how racially diverse your audience is I suppose.

Yet it's mostly white guys imitating the voice in my presence. Maybe because for a lot of people they don't know who is behind the mask. I'm not sure I feel any better that white people aren't as bothered because a brown person made the joke instead of a white person. Hits the same for me

I listened the episode of the Adam Buxton podcast with Kayvan Novak. He was asked about portraying black characters and didn't really have a great answer as to whether or not be thought it was appropriate. It does come across as less spicy than a white person doing it because there isn't the same undertone of colonialism and systemic racism but it's still a bit uncomfortable.
