Its ok for a black man to put on makeup and caricature old Jewish men but not ok for white people to don black face and caricature black men.

So much for racial equality.


Oh well they are all a bunch of dancing monkeys anyway. LOL

Anyway Sonneborn doesn't look very convincing. But I can see the humor from a German's point of view.
