It sure looks like it! Betty Boop was not a very dark black person, but one can tell that she was indeed, black.

Jan wasn’t black but likely inspired by black performers, including Josephine Baker.

See the part where it says Helen Kane’s sat interpolations.

Personally I think sh should’ve won the lawsuit. That character was her, outright.

No. Betty Boop is a caricature of a white woman doing black style jazz. That is what the older generation found so entertaining. Today we don’t get that because wokeness has sterilized that part of our culture and made it an “appropriation” “race hate crime.”

You are a libtard. Betty Boop is white, always has been, but nice try though
