I don't like Ryan, but I don't really care about blackface. If anything, SJWs whinging about it makes it worthwhile :E

Unless someone can explain the inspiration for it it does come across as little more than shock tactics or ignorance.
As with your Stevie Wonder exmple, Ryan was dressing as a specific person - someone he met on holiday.
