also... whiteface isn't offensive because the dominant culture is white. Racism exists between all races, but it is only suppressive when it comes from the dominant culture.

I've spoken to two black women about this, and they thought he should have been allowed because he wasn't mocking Obama. That of course leads to the question, who speaks for the black community? I know two women are not a reflective sample.

I think Dru should've been able to perform, but I'm not black. His dads said that they were sensitive to minority issues because of their experience as white gay men. Did the dads ask blacks within their gay or area community what they thought?

Maybe instead of doing it for publicity, Steve is providing an opportunity for those who disagree with you the ability to watch the show.

Could you post some of the questionable dialogue so that we can have a better understanding of where this woman is coming from? I'm not sure if we have the same idea of what questionable is, and it would be nice to have a context to consider this.
