And sometimes a cigar is just a cigar. Perhaps the character’s black because oil is black and black is the traditional villain color. Not everything’s about race.

I wasn’t talking about the toxic cloud being a black color, but the stereotypical minstrel-show big lips. As pointed out above, they could have used the RHPS disembodied red lips instead of a racial stereotype.
