This incident? It was nipped in the bud pretty quickly an apology issued and its a small Alberta teacher.
But for other incidents like this, you could look up the examples given, as suggested.

Gigi Hadid has apologised after her appearance on the cover of Vogue Italia was lambasted for the apparent use of “blackface”.
The model faced a huge backlash when the photo, which was taken by fashion photographer Steven Klein, was revealed yesterday, with people saying that she looked “completely unrecognisable” with her darkened skin.

Also, I think there's quite the irony saying "and if its a small vocal group, then should we cater to them if the majority are not?" in a thread about the oppression of minorities.
Yes, we probably should cater to the minorities if we want to address racism...
Also, I would agree it's a dumb hill to die on. But for one group, to them it's about the oppression they and their ancestors have faced by an oppressive, racist regime and the insulting and mocking attitudes still addressed towards them. To the other, it's white people who want the freedom to put black make up on their face.
