Colleen Ballinger critics say YouTuber's resurfaced videos show racist content

YouTube personality Colleen Ballinger is facing a new wave of criticism after an old video of her Miranda Sings character performing a Beyoncé song resurfaced Wednesday and went viral.

The unlisted video remains on her Miranda Sings YouTube channel, titled "Single Ladies," and is a parody of Beyoncé's 2008 hit single. While the video is dated to February 2018, it is not immediately clear when and where the performance took place.

In the video, Ballinger's forehead and cheeks are smeared with a dark substance. She and two back-up dancers wear outfits meant to mimic Beyoncé's black leotards from the "Single Ladies" music video.
