Racist skit or not?
Permalink  
 


Watch the whole clip...Harry Connick, Jr's reaction and the end where he explains why he thought it was offensive....BIG controversy over his remarks over that way...

read some of the comments too....all I can say is WOW...there is A LOT of anti-american sentiment in Australia...I mean Kimber has always told me about it, but geez, I didnt realize it was SO bad.

what do YOU think?

I think the skit was lousy, should have been gonged, and got the appropriate crappy score. 

I commend H.C. jr for speaking his mind, but also understand a clash in cultural understanding and why norms of acceptance in one place isn't acceptable in another.

I'm sure we do things on air that other cultures find insulting all the time that we think is simply funny.
