This recent incident says a lot about the Aussie view of race issues. A national, family variety show which allowed a group to perform in black face. I thought Harry Connick Jnr. handled it very well, but I cannot, simply cannot believe that the men performing were doctors - highly educated people who should know better.
The act:
Disgusting that the act performed it before in 1989 and were so popular they were invited back last week.
It's caused some fuss here, but not much. Most of it has been in the US:
