When did it become unacceptable for white actors to play characters of different races (e.g, black face, yellow face, etc)?

They can still be a dude playing a dude, disguised as another dude.

Quick edit:
But I feel like this is the most recent example of a white actor using black face in a manner that wasn't exactly problematic.
Because as the quote says, it's not him doing it. It's the character he's playing doing it.
Which is an important distinction, and answers a question that probably wasn't serious to begin with

Gonna assume this is Tropic Thunder. I have time to write this comment but not click a link.

The Yuri Wong song built off the sample of the quote.
If you listen later and enjoy it, he also uploads a video of making each song. It's pretty cool shit.
