Blackface, on Australian TV?

The fact that so many people give a damn disappoints me. It's a horrible show and who cares if they pull a racist stunt? Just go on with your lives and stop caring about being politically correct.





that's how a real australian sees it.

If a 'good show' did it, would it be any different?

The issue is that they brought back and even glorified a VERY popular form of propagandic entertainment from the past that was used for the sole purpose of tarring another race as 'sub-human'...
 
I don't find it offensive at all. I think it was really the only way they could express a simple joke that has been shared through everyone ever since MJ had the operation, which was him turning from black to white. They didn't make racist slurs and they didnt use any stereotypes, i don't see what's so wrong with this.



Seems like a Monty Python style parady of the Jackson five, some people can't take a joke.
