Blackface was done to ENTERTAIN white people by degrading black people. It was appealing to a white demographic to make them feel superior. It wasn't done out of spite. It wasn't done specifically to degrade black people.
White people didn't think enough about black people back then to intentionally. If it didn't make white people laugh it wouldn't of existed.
The MSG5 character was done to appeal to men, by objectifying women. If that woman was dressed like a regular soldier, in a soldier outfit, people wouldn't find it offensive, and the woman would still be attractive as hell and appeal to the male demographic.
I mean
Works just as well as
With the added benefit of not looking stupid. (or offensive.)
