Well he never blacked up for that character either, it's the attitude to blackface was reacting to.
As said it was a character performance and on the cusp of acceptability in relation to cultural appropriation so I'm not sure.
Was it insensitive? In hindsight yes, has he issued an apology? Yes, Do I think it's a reason to oust him from his position? No.
