Must all races be represented in each programme or show, film etc? well why not ban all white people ? because it seems that it is the best solution to all the problems in the world..

Sorry but I am so sick of this. We hear it all the time in this country aswell. That we are bad people, racists, must be more tolerant, our history is nothing of value but the other cultures are everything and bla bla bla bla. In short= We are the scum of the earth.


And the strange thing is that it is almost always white people who is so upset about this. But those are usually the real racists anyway.

Anyway I am not sure if I like the show or not, but it could have been alot worse. It seems like the only one passing is Donna which actually reminds me of a female friend of mine and the guy (cant remember his name) is also someone I would not even hesitate on as being born as a male.

Drew does pass when not talking and I think that she could have chosen a less striking look, some of the clothes draws attention to her being not so curvy and she also seems pretty tall. And the laugh points her out.

but that means it still exists 

Sure, but it's not going to get any better by insisting that white and black people are inherently different and a black person can't relate to or learn from the experiences of a white person.

British people are British people, we need to stop splitting people into groups on the basis of physical characteristics.

  I'll meet you at your perspective, I just don't completely agree because that dismisses culture.

Okay, but that's kinda the point I've been trying to make. In America, you have a real split in the cultures based on race. In Britain our culture is split on class. Skin colour is just not as relevant in determining someones experiences here as it is there.

I think this really has become a case of "2 countries divided by the same language". The culture difference is huge, of course there is racism in the U.K. just look at the BNP. The thing is it's really not the same scale as in the States at all. The class divide is a much bigger thing, as far as I can tell, looking in from a nearby and quite similar country.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I got the feeling that most of those guests on the show were not upper- or even upper-middle class. The possible exceptions are Fox and Max, but mostly because we saw less of their backgrounds and I couldn't place their accents. That to me seems far stranger than the race issue.

Watching the 4th episode now, 4/4 made me cry happiness and sadness this time :s
