Designing Women, Season 4

[The ladies are set to play the Supremes in a talent show, so in an effort to be more authentic, Suzanne buys everyone dark facial and body makeup.]

Mary Jo:
Suzanne, we can't go around in black face, that's racist!

Suzanne:
Why? If Dustin Hoffman was gonna play Martin Luther King, you don't think he'd wear black makeup?

Julia:
Suzanne, Dustin Hoffman would never play Martin Luther King — that part would go to a black actor.

Suzanne:
Well I think that's racist! I mean, I think it should go to whoever the best person is — and that could be Dustin Hoffman.
