RE: Is australia really racist or is it a misconception
I think comedy has a lot to do with gauging your audience. You wouldn't go onto a plane and make jokes about terrorists taking it over would you...
So, there is a time and a place for everything and I think in this case, it was appropriate. As far as black-face goes, it does have a bad history and I can see why people are up in arms about it.
I do however grow weary of this new-age political correctness bullshit... But on the other hand, it seems that Australia does seem have a bad rap, when it comes to being all inclusive with respect to minorities and such...
