Hmmm
[EDIT]
Not to mention... it was made for an AUSTRALIAN AUDIENCE, on an AUSTRALIAN SHOW, for an AUSTRALIAN SENCE OF HUMOUR.
The show was not intentionally poking fun at african americans (or mocking the history of african americans in american theatre).
Also, everyone has been complaining that it was 5 white guys doing it... they weren't all caucasian australians, a few were from multicultural backgrounds.

There are 10 types of people in this world. Those that understand binary and those who do not.
