I'm rather intrigued, sooty. Do you find Desmond's sinister and offensive, for its lack of good honest white folk?
Top 3 Over rated British sitcoms. Page 20
Nah they had at least 2 regular white characters, also unlike T&J I found it funny, well acted and nicely scripted.
Did you ever watch one of the best sitcoms Channel 4 ever put on?
Half the time when I write I'm being honest, the other half I'm rehearsing characters for scripts.
Problem is I can no longer remember which is which.
I think this maybe creeping into my daily life.

Hey, no knocking Balamory. It is as surreal The Boosh and much, much funnier.

I said lack of. Not total absence. Much like there having been non-'WASP', as you've put it, characters popping up in Terry And June.
Perhaps Still Game is a dark, dangerous programme for its lack of English or Welsh characters? Maybe Father Ted disturbs you on a similar level?
But it appears, ultimately, that this comes down to outrageous double-standards as you look for offence and cause to complain in something you personally don't find funny.

That implies an element of volition.

Father Ted had a whole China Town.
But they could make a better case for it being germaine to the material.

Plus there is something quite sexy about Miss Hoolie.
Nil By Mouth was funnier than the Boosh.
Christ! Never thought I'd see such heated debate surrounding Terry & June!
Shall we move on to a discussion of The Chuckle Brothers and their influence on the evolution of modern dialectics?
Don't mess with the Chuckle Brothers!
They're the last true clowns on TV, and one of the few gay couples to make to prime time TV.

Surreal? In The Night Garden puts the Dada into da da.

Oh dear God.
You've obviously never seen their Gaydar TV show,
"From me up you"

Oh sooty, after discussing the show elsewhere this evening, I have remembered that Terry and June had a grown up son. In fact, I'm pretty sure that the point of the show was that they were alone for the first time after 18+ years.
So that's about 80% of your extremely weak argument gone in one go. 
Really? I must have tuned out, the hypnotically banal scripts would do that.
Either that or was over taken by a deep wish to be watching Reginald Perrin, or Rising Damp.
I some how remember the episode where June became a punk as being particularly dreadful.
Apro po of nothing saw an ingenious Benny Hill sketch about Tales of the Unexpected.
I always thought he was a highly talented comic, and a genuine shame he got dumped.
