Anyone remember the black and white minstrel show live from the london palladium every Sunday night? That was a load of white guys all in white suits with black boot polish (or something like it) on their faces and white lips? If they did that now it would bring the house down. How this world has changed.

I also remember Lenny Henry 'whiting' up for his crack at Hollywood.....I think there's been a recent series in the US with blacks 'whiting' up.

He also appeared in the Black & White Minstrel show which must have left him quite conflicted.

All the baddies will be white obviously, and a guaranteed racist theme.
