Well, I didn't think it was racist to begin with Colonel Logain Send a noteboard - 12/10/2009 10:41:42 AM
One thing I didn't like though is how one of the performers came out later in the week and said something along the lines of "I can't be racist because I'm an Indian anyway". Racism isn't exclusively white people discriminating against people of other races.

I have nothing to add. I just wanted to be included in this thread.

Is this racist, or are people losing their sense of humour? Colonel Logain - 09/10/2009 01:36:26 AM 786 Views
While it is possible that it was not done with racist intent.... Mat Maniac - 09/10/2009 01:51:28 AM 539 Views

I don't think it was racist but I do think it was inappropriate. everynametaken - 09/10/2009 02:10:35 AM 476 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 470 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 172 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 466 Views
No, Australia doesn't Colonel Logain - 09/10/2009 03:57:47 AM 477 Views

Poor taste regardless. But it wasn't funny either. Boring waste of time. *NM* Tashmere - 09/10/2009 04:44:05 AM 167 Views

Not sure if shows lack of humor so much as lack of judgment *NM* random thoughts - 09/10/2009 02:44:57 PM 183 Views

I think too many people don't know what "racist" actually means. *NM* Palatine - 09/10/2009 05:40:54 PM 177 Views
You have to understand the legacy of the American "minstrel shows. " Joel - 09/10/2009 11:13:25 PM 522 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 446 Views
