He worries that <a href="http://highbridnation.com/2008/03/07/robert-downey-jr-plays-a-black-soldier-in-ben-stillers-parody-flick/" rel="nofollow">Al Sharpton might have something to say about it</a>, lol. Honestly as a black person I think it's kinda cool that movie make-up has gotten to the point where you can make someone look like another race and if the pics I've seen of Robert Downy in costume are accurate than they did a really good job! Plus Robert is a very capable actor so I'm sure he wont come across as stereo typical or offensive. I could be wrong though.
