I CRY CULTURAL APPROPRIATION FOUL!!!! (Hehehe feeling snowflaky this morning.)
I ALSO  FOUL FOUL FOUL because someone mentioned that disgusting little hobbit, Tom Cruise.  
How that man became an actor is beyond me.  Also, Sandra Bullock always annoyed me too. It was  that square jaw (it may have a dimple I can't remember) and like, also, she  had that "OH I could be the girl next door but also your love interest thing" a bit too much. I was like, "Make up your  mind cookie."
In any case, yes, since  black face and before, the entertainment industry like has taken over other stuff and  "made it their own." I mean, look at Elvis. Etc.
