Blackface

[Rsmyth]

Gene, I am not sure if she was insensitive or just did not know the history of blackface. She has a history of saying those types of things; "and kids, remember, Santa Claus was white." And so was Jesus. In these times why would you say that? We are not that far removed from the Three Stooges appearing in blackface and the Little Rascals saying the "N" word. Tonto, is Spanish for dumb person or fool and was initially portrayed by a Caucasian as were most Indians in Hollywood. Things have changed for good reason. Unfortunately I believe she will loose her job over this.
