I do find exploiting others and the case being made by those in the AA community that she did so using all the ugliest racial stereotypes may well be indefensible. (http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1255&pid=25002)

So, no, I don't see the arguments being made re: her own sexualized performance to be the issue at all, though I'm sure that aspect does push a few buttons for some.
