I don't think it was racist but I do think it was inappropriate. everynametaken Send a noteboard - 09/10/2009 02:10:35 AM
There was no need for the skit to begin with. It was ill thought out and was probably best panned in the pre-production phase of the show. Just a dumb skit that the show producers are most likely regretting very much now.
But wine was the great assassin of both tradition and propriety...

The whole point was the skit was performed 20 years ago with the same people Colonel Logain - 09/10/2009 02:15:53 AM 378 Views
What might have been appropriate 20 years ago may not be today. The world has changed. *NM* everynametaken - 09/10/2009 03:42:35 AM 142 Views

It would be in America, or if they were Americans. But that's a different historical context. Burr - 09/10/2009 03:49:14 AM 377 Views
No, Australia doesn't Colonel Logain - 09/10/2009 03:57:47 AM 379 Views

Poor taste regardless. But it wasn't funny either. Boring waste of time. *NM* Tashmere - 09/10/2009 04:44:05 AM 138 Views

I think too many people don't know what "racist" actually means. *NM* Palatine - 09/10/2009 05:40:54 PM 149 Views
You have to understand the legacy of the American "minstrel shows. " Joel - 09/10/2009 11:13:25 PM 426 Views
Considering that some of the people doing the skit were of Indian (country not native american).... mick - 12/10/2009 03:00:40 AM 358 Views
Well, I didn't think it was racist to begin with Colonel Logain - 12/10/2009 10:41:42 AM 364 Views
