Yes, the makeup obviously reminds the old, racist minstrel shows. They did the right thing by kicking her out, imo... There's some limit to free expression. When you reach hatred or something that reminds it, to me you crossed the boundary.

Re: Drag Queen in Blackface
I think everyone here knows how I feel about racism. I hate it with every fiber of my being. However, it strikes me as a bit of a double-standard that one can sensationalize a gender, but not a race. Women have been the subject of persecution and repression since the beginning of time, and it's almost a DQ's very job to mock us, as was that of men playing a female characters in many classical plays.
That said, it was still such a bad idea that it had to be a publicity stunt. I seriously doubt that there will be any long term consequences for this, and probably enough attention to warrant any in the short term.
