It would be in America, or if they were Americans. But that's a different historical context. Burr Send a noteboard - 09/10/2009 03:49:14 AM

Does Australia also have a history of using black face as a form of racist propaganda? If so, then it's racist; otherwise, it's probably not.

While it is possible that it was not done with racist intent.... Mat Maniac - 09/10/2009 01:51:28 AM 453 Views

I don't think it was racist but I do think it was inappropriate. everynametaken - 09/10/2009 02:10:35 AM 389 Views

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

Not sure if shows lack of humor so much as lack of judgment *NM* random thoughts - 09/10/2009 02:44:57 PM 149 Views

I think too many people don't know what "racist" actually means. *NM* Palatine - 09/10/2009 05:40:54 PM 148 Views

You have to understand the legacy of the American "minstrel shows. " Joel - 09/10/2009 11:13:25 PM 425 Views
