Isn't that Popo considered Blackface? :P

I'm a little more concerned about the fact he's wearing underwear on his head.

Are Tenshinhan cosplays really that uncommon? Huh.

As for the Mr. Popo cosplayer...I'm surprised some passer-bys didn't complain or beat him up for painting himself black. Nevertheless, he's got some real balls.

And why did he apologize to you after taking his picture? Are you black or Asian?

Usually only see people cosplay Saiyans. And yes, I'm black.

Oh, I've seen some people cosplay Piccolo. And it's strange that he would apologize to you after you took his picture.

I wouldn't call it a blackface. He's painted himself to resemble a character that's not a different race, but a different being altogether.

If he was dressing a General Black, that would be a different matter.
