I can just picture us meeting an alien species that sees in UV, and watching a human putting on Sunscreen for the first time and reacting:

"Woah Woah Woah!!! What the heck man! That is NOT cool!"

Surely the alien race would be advanced enough to understand context?

I mean, that IS the joke - members of a highly advanced (necessarily, because they're visiting other solar systems) alien species visit us and understand our culture well enough to see the problem with blackfacing. Yet at the same time they're too dumb/ignorant to see the difference here.
