No of course it's not. I'm not condoning her behaviour. But I don't think it was racist. I think racist connotations can be attached to it. But so can a lot of things these days.

I do think people can be over sensitive these days though.

I know part of the racism in question has to do with the connotations of Ebola, but IMO what makes it racist is the whole "lol you don't have a 'normal' name so let me call you something else for comedic effect" shtick. That **** happened on Survivor this year with Shirin and it wasn't cute then.
