    Whiteface (analogue to blackface)
    OK, before any of you call me racist I will point out that I'm not. I know that in old time shows, people once used blackface if their character was a negro. Is the reverse possible? Is it possible for a black guy to pose as a white guy while being adequately disguised?

    In case you're wondering why I asked, I saw this one movie called White Chicks and although that movie was really idiotic, it still raised the question about why they did not use "whiteface" which was so much easier to put on and off than those irritating rubber coverings. Besides, wouldn't that cause their bodies to heat up since they're not able to dissipate heat as water vapor. (let alone in the hot California climate)

    Those types of prostetics have built in coolers. And yes whiteface has already been used many times for dramatazation and effect.
