"When the white, 20-year-old, former child star and daughter of a country singer goes on stage and does something that the so-called ruling classes deem unseemly, it starts a firestorm. When scores of young women across the globe take the stage to express themselves in exactly the same way at an EDM concert by Diplo, and plaster their exploits all over social networks, no one bats an eye.

This pretty well spells it out I think. The author says that we're racist because we're only outraged when a "white, 20-year-old, former child star" performs that way, yet we don't "bat an eye" when other presumably non-white performers do.

Is the writer complaining that we don't try to shame black women when they act like sluts on stage?

OK. Point taken.
