Comedian Druski is coming under fire for a \u201cwhite face\u201d performance in which he donned incredibly realistic makeup and proceeded to cosplay as a racist NASCAR fan.<\/p>\n
The black comedian, 30, looked unrecognizable after he painted his entire face, arms and torso to a believably Caucasian tone \u2014 and even added some extra detail to the bit with a farmer\u2019s tan sunburn at a recent NASCAR race.<\/p>\n

He completed the redneck character\u2019s look with a mullet, beard, American flag cowboy hat and a pair of overalls with no shirt revealing American flag tattoos.<\/p>\n
The skit \u2014 which has gone mega-viral \u2014 shows Druski, legal name Andrew Desbordes, palling around with tailgaters at the race,\u00a0talking in an exaggerated southern accent, toasting Budweisers with fellow white attendees and blasting Bruce Springsteen\u2019s \u201cBorn in the USA.\u201d<\/p>\n
