Although frequently hilarious, this series is marred by its inability to present Black people as fully‑human. The all‑too‑few Black interviewees are unfailingly represented by black‑colored animals (compare with, Dumbo, as well as the fact that no White is represented by a polar bear); revealing the paucity of imagination in the White mind.
This creative idiocy tallies well with the White interviewees who are also often quite stupid, intellect‑free & unempathetically‑unable to think about anything outside of themselves, nor to be able to put themselves into other people’s shoes. Noticeably, however, White foreigners are presented as human - albeit with the ability to destroy British Whites with their alien‑invented ray‑guns.
The great failing of this series is that it relies on the thoughts of others for its success, not so much on the thoughts of its creators - who either ridicule others as retarded or poorly‑educated.
