I think there is some serious confusion about what exactly is going on because this is a quote from an interview with Sharon Needles. Not sure the source other than this (http://www.vulture.com/2012/05/sharon-needles-on-winning-rupauls-drag-race.html):
Have you experienced any backlash from the show’s viewers?
SN: A woman threw a brick at me through a window of a car — I was sitting in the passenger side and it clocked me in the back. This was two days before my DragU episode. [Drag Race’s makeover-themed spinoff.] Thank God she missed my face. We called the police. She’s like, “Call, you’re just creating more angst between the queer community and the police.” I just said, “I’m not creating a problem between the queer community and the police. I’m creating a problem between you and the police, you little fucking c—t.” She spray-painted “racist” on my house, broke its windows, put superglue in my locks. There’s like four ticked-off lesbians convinced Sharon Needles is a writhing racist who thinks the Holocaust never happened — because I use a swastika or reference Hitler [in my performances] ironically. It’s gotten a lot of attention online, and so certain people have started re-posting things, re-blogging things, in trying to push me in the direction of a racist, insensitive character. Intent trumps vulgarity and ta-da!haha omg yas
good riddance you racist twat!
wow. This is acceptable and justified to you? This is what your brain accepts as a logical and appropriate reaction to use of a racial slur?
Who are you helping? What are you accomplishing? Where do you stop?
I know this is typical tumblr dramatics, but honestly fuck you.
I worry about people who find terror an acceptable means to an end.
