Yeah, most of what makes blackface (and other non-white colors) so offensive is its history and how it's been used in the past. If you're not aware of its history and how that makes it offensive today and then you go out and dress up like that, well, it seems a bit far to call them a racist.
I don't think Colton's use of (whatever color that's considered)face was intended to be malicious, so I'll just assume he's ignorant.
But I don't really use him anyway, so.
