One need not look very far to see that blackface is a sensitive issue in many countries outside of the U.S., Wikipedia breaks it down by country: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blackface I am sad to read these words that you write - that the world does not care about degrading black people. I would encourage you to read more about the history of this dance, perhaps you will appreciate more the roots of the dance and develop more empathy for your fellow humans. I'll even give you a recommendation - I am enjoying this book right now, because it gives a lot of context to set up the story of how the Charleston came to exist as a dance and because the author writes with genuine interest and excitement for this topic: https://www.amazon.com/Doin-Charleston-American-Popular-Orphanage/dp/0615852033 Thanks to Bobby White for the recommendation via the Swungover blog. In spite of what you may believe, this issue is bigger than the US, it is not a self-contained issue, and I would encourage you to look outside of yourself, Russia, or whatever seems to be holding you to this unwavering opinion for more information.
