Ethnic Stereotyping

in the days before 9/11 we could laugh at this kind of thing more comfortably.
from the BBC series Goodness Gracious Me, season 2 1998.
it was a comedy sketch program, created by and starring british asians, making fun of stereotypes of british asians, from various perspectives.

Still to this day the greatest sketch show of British TV! True classic comedy far ahead of its time! I miss those days when multi-ethnic Britain was seen as positive. Still watch these shows with my wife (UK Pakistani Muslim) and laugh our asses off!

Probably one of the only comedy series from the 90's to remain relevant and still one of my favorite sketch comedies ever.

[@Rascaduanok]

It also made fun of white attitudes towards Asians too. I think my favourite characters were the Restaurant Man and Chunky Lafunga.

This is the closest thing to a Time Machine to the 90’s…. Takes me right back when I watched this with family and enjoyed the reenactment in school the following day

[@DreamBelief]

Lol so true. I'm Muslim and people would interrogate me like this, yet never believe me when I answered because it didn't fit with their prejudice. I study science. I remember being taught that we must be very careful because people tend to disregard any evidence that doesn't fit their preconceived notions, and grab onto even the weakest evidence that supports their ideas.

[@Blackthorne587]

Because you live out of a muslim country. You are the exception. Not the rule.

[@TariqKhan-np2wx]

Totally agree with you. I get that too with being half french half indian with white skin nobody believe I am mixed race and even if i try to persuade them they still think they are right and I am liying. Why ask the question in the first place.
