so he is not entitled to an opinion because.. what, the opinion doesn't praise Madonna? Deep in Vogue features Willie Ninja, "the godfather of vogueing" on vocals.

Wait until some Madonna fans realize some people (especially the most marginalized, the darker tones) feel really offended by how she portrayed and acted in terms of ballroom culture. I may not totally agree with them but they're absolutely in their right.

Exactly, people from the original ballroom scene from that time have every right to feel any way they feel

Do yourselves a favor and watch the deleted scenes and outtakes on the Criterion Blu-Ray. There's nearly 2 hours of it and it's like watching and entirely additional movie. Chef's kiss emoji.

please rip it. There's no Criterion Blu-ray in Brazil.

'Paris is Burning' is a great documentary, but there are also many ethical issues with it. I recommend you look at some some of the criticism around how it was shot, used, narrated and circulated etc. Director, who is a white cis woman,  exploited the people in the documentary, their life and vulnerabilities. 

Nonetheless it is a great document shedding light onto what could have remained unseen otherwise.

Thank you for your answer but I don't agree with the criticisms.
