No way. This is not the first time that Ben Stiller has taken the joke too far. There is humor and then there is offensive humor. Remember "There's something about Mary"? I had a problem with Tropic Thunder since the first time I saw the trailer and Robert Downey Jr.'s character. I understand the joke Mr. Stiller is trying to make-that some actors take themselves too seriously, but the point could have been made in a much less abrasive manner. As a minority, I know first hand that being made fun for being different is no fun. Those of you that find this type of humor funny have never been on the receiving end. I truly believe that there is a way to convey humor without being hurtful and disrespectful.
