Can't think where I saw it written but I think this is true "patriotism is not racism"
no, it's the last refuge of the scoundrel 8-)
p.s. Blazing Saddles isn't racist, the humour revolves around the dumb white guys who can't deal with a black sherriff - one of Mr Brooks best (along with Young Frankenstein) so why would it be odd that a black guy found it funny? i was watching it the other day, and my neighbour (funnily enough, he's an HGV driver) came in and said "jesus - you wouldn't get away with this nowadays!" but you would tho, look out for the hilarious "Four Lions" by Chris Morris (Brass Eye, The Day Today) - I've seen enough clips to know the Mail will be apoplectic (it's a comedy about a group of Islamic Jihadi terrorists from the north of England) - precisely because it's non-pc, look at the stuff Garth Ennis writes - hilarious, sick, totally non-pc

seems to me the only place where they worry about being pc or not is the mainstream media - in actual fact, people who wouldn't touch the Independent or Guardian with a barge poll would be shocked at the language (I assume The Sun, Mail, etc know it's read by kids - they blank every swear word, no matter how mild - it's complete b*******!) so you can do what you like, but right leaning, conservative media are the ones who cry foul - not the tree hugging hippies imo

pps - is that the longest "ps" to the shortest reply ever?
