I'm only stating what I saw in a programme aired in the UK. Believe me there are much more controversial programmes being aired but that is the good ole UK for ya, never too concerned about being politically correct but more concerned about taking the debate ahead. And one thing I must say, you can't beat the UK (sorry Mario) for documentaries. Mario observes: To begin with, you are responding to Red Fred here, who is in some danger of falling off the left edge of the planet:-)) So, for Fred, everyone is Right while he is Wro.., ...er, Left. Secondly, with all due respect, I'm skeptical of claims of unbeatable documentaries made in the UK, given the evidence you are citing of a documentary that reaches a generalized conclusion that mixed race people are more successful than the old Bulldog Brits who once ruled the world and saved civilization with US help during WW-II. I recall that many Brits were enthralled with Al Gore's "An Inconvenient Truth" until a British High Court rubbished it and required a written warning be issued to any school kid who was shown the film, which shows that the average Brits were too easily impressed and unable to tell fact from fiction in a documentary. Now, if you had said that British comedies were hard to beat, I would definitely agree with you.
