Tropic Thunder's race relations

First pic from Ben Stiller's Tropic Thunder holds a surprise...

No, it’s not that Stiller is looking buff and Rambo-esque in the front, and no, it’s not Jack Black going all Alan Smith with his peroxide hairdo. Take a long, slow look at the man in the middle... No lightbulb? Well, believe it or not folks, that is Robert Downey Jr as Kirk Lazarus, a po-faced Oscar-winning actor cast in Tropic’s faux mega ‘Nam epic.

It took us a second to clock exactly who it was when EW.com first posted the pic, Downey Jr comparing it with Peter Sellers frequent race-bending performances. Yeah, but that was 40 years ago, Bob.
