I think he got away with it because he was playing an actor that, "Stayed in character until after the DVD commentary track was recorded..."
Ergo, bash him for playing a black man, you would be bashing Daniel Day Lewis and other method actors.... OR..... Either this, or nobody realized it was RDJ, and assumed it was a black man. OR... Tropic Thunder wasn't on the Academy Awards "FOr your consideration" viewing list. |

In the movie they had an actual black guy call out RDJ on it, so everything's ok. I think that's how it works.

Tropic Thunder was an epic masterpiece. But even better than RDJ's performance was Tom Cruise's performance as Less Grossman.

He actually does stay in character for the DVD commentary. It's one of my favourites.

C Thomas Howell got away with it in Soul Man. I don't think it was a big deal in either movie since they were tasteful performances.
