    Anyone else notice this? It makes me cringe stuff like this.

    Nothing against them but it was just unrealistic to see a black guy playing cricket in the 18th century, also to see one as a top engineer in the Brunel era? Come on <laugh>

    My thoughts exactly <laugh>

    Black people make up a very small proportion of the population, yet there always has to be a 50:50 split to avoid offence. I was at my mum's the other night, and she was watching some Andrew Lloyd Webber ****e about selecting a guy to play Jesus and there's this ****ing 18 stone black guy in the final three <laugh>

    I live there and did not think that there were that many blacks or Asians in the ceremony!

    Nope - I thought it was going to be way more multicultural than it actually was.

    You have to remember they live in a backwards part of the world where they refer to black people as 'darkies'

    It may not have been disproportionate by London's standards, but it was very unrealistic.
