Little Britan black facing?

DearJenny · 08-10-2007, 10:34 PM

I was flipping the channels and came across BBC America and Little Britain was on. which I've only watched a handful of times. There was a sketch with two men in vaudeville black-face and they were listening to a modern radio station looking all unhappy and switched it to another and "my dear old bonnie" was on it and they started singing to it and eating their cereal. So this leads to a question since I am fairly niave to foriegn attitudes....

Are people more understanding in other countries than America, like look at their history with a bit more comical sense and take things like that less critically?
