but broner saying asian eat cats and dogs is not racist right because "asians do eat cats and dogs" right? i mean that's what was being said on here. so why is this sweater racist but what broner said wasnt?
1. Blackface is racist. If you don't know that, a bit of research will help you out with that, bro.
2. Who cares what someone somewhere said about Broner. You know that shlt he said is racist, so why are you pretending that because someone said what he said is not racist, that cancels out all instances of racism in the world? Come on, bro.

What other nationality gets so weak in the knees if they're being lampooned ?

It’s an ugly balaclava sweater just like others on the market.
All Gucci did to their overpriced sweater was add red lipstick to it as their big fashion thing that differentiated it from the rest.
The problem is people see racism in everything now a days.

Or if you care not to, that's good.
From my unlearned pov, it's just some form of comedy.
Here's from your link:
Blackface is much more than just dark makeup used to enhance a costume.
Its American origins can be traced to minstrel shows. In the mid to late nineteenth century, white actors would routinely use black grease paint on their faces when depicting plantation slaves and free blacks on stage.
To be clear, these weren't flattering representations. At all. Taking place against the backdrop of a society that systematically mistreated and dehumanized black people, they were mocking portrayals that reinforced the idea that African-Americans were inferior in every way.
