Black or brownface is definitely in the top 3 for ways to cancel yourself
It's kind of strange, there was definitely a lot of brown/blackface in the 90s and early 2000s. Was it more acceptable then or was there just no social media so cancelling people was more difficult? Maybe as there was no social media many people just didn't know it was bad.
So I don't know, I would be torn on this. It seems like your intention doesn't matter at all, or the environment at the time. The list of things I learned from Twitter that I shouldn't say or do is much longer than it was even 10 years ago.
That DOESN'T make black/brownface okay by any means and I totally get why it's offensive, but I think there's a major difference between 'he's a fucking racist' and 'he did something racist'
