I disagree with the argument in this thread that mocking someone for chemicals they put on their body is as bad as repeating centuries old racist themes. Is it any worse than my frequent mockery of his poor eating and work habits? I don't think making fun of him watching TV and eating McDonalds is as bad as being racist, and in my view it's a personal choice he makes, like using orange spray tans. 

It's also a personal choice to consider a comment about a person's appearance racist. 

Would it be racist if I said this character looks like Michael Jackson?
