Tommy don't you think racism is often in the eye of the beholder though, at least with some folks. Not necessarily you, just generally.
Frankie that's insane.
If that was true Nuremberg would have ended with some one saying, I didn't think I was being antisemitic.
The sketch implies negative traits on an ethnic group ego it's racist.
The question is it acceptably so?
I'd say it is acceptable. it's funny and makes a much stronger dig at over priveleged wealthy tossers.
But it doesn't stop it being racist.

Is it different?
Are you sure?
Perhaps it's the PC types at the Embassy and in their community that are complaining?
That I highly doubt, it's more an issue of national pride.
It's more like if the US celebrated independence day by burning British effigies, and having national call a Brit a wanker day.
Our objections probably wouldn't be PC.
