Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader under some heat

The comments have been overwhelmingly negative on the story about the white Dallas Cowboys cheerleader who dressed up as black rapper Lil' Wayne. Not negative toward her but toward me and the newspaper for running the story in the first place.
I've read all 410 comments now. I didn't actually do the calculations, but it appears that the consensus is at least 20 to 1 in favor of the cheerleader.
The commenters generally concluded that she was just having fun and no offense was intended. "It's Halloween. She was dressing up. What's the big deal?" That summarizes the typical message.
But commenters also brought up other interesting issues. Is it OK for black people to dress up in white make up? I couldn't count how many times people brought up the movie "White Chick," which featured black men dressed up as the title characters. What about other races dressing up as Asian or Hispanic characters? What about white people dressing up as black characters or public figures without using dark make up?

I think this an understanding - I heard this was just a horrible "spray on tan" mis hap and she needed to cover it up so she wouldn't lose the "spray on tan" expense account money from the Cowboys.
