Because
nothing says Mongolian warrior like “Downton
Abbey’s Mr. Carson,” today’s “Drunk in Time” sequence features Jim Carter
as Genghis Khan. It annoys me that,
while black-face is obviously understood to be horrifically insensitive, the
same isn’t universally accepted for other races. Now, it doesn’t look like he was actually
made up to appear Mongolian, but The All
New Alexei Sayle Show was already on probation for me (since the very white
Sayle played a Native American stereotype in a sketch yesterday,) and seeing
Jim Carter playing Genghis Khan doesn’t help.
Not
much to say about PC’s Doug or his potted pal.
Last episode of this show tomorrow, and I’ll be ready for it.
