6- British comedies crappy? Hello!? Go buy the DVD of Fawlty Towers, right now! NOW! It's the funniest show ever to flicker across a television screen, no hands down. And, of course, like all the greatest shows of all time, there are only about 12 episodes.
Faulty Towers, Monty Python, Blackadder, Black Books, Father Ted (Irish is almost British), Big Train, Smack the Pony, Have I Get News For You, Trigger Happy TV, If I Ruled the World, not to mention our fantastic radio comedies like I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue, the News Quiz, Just a Minute, the Motion Show, the Now Show, etc...

The list goes on and on...

9- To be a racial slur, one must be commenting on a race. "British" is not a race, it is a nationality. An anti british generalization would be more of an ethnic slur, or, even more precisely, a prejudicial nationality statement. See how stupid and banal I can make this? WhooooooOOOOoooo, fun.
You and your goddamned dictionary...

Everyone is a bigot in their own unique right, you can't lambaste someone without thinking to yourselves how bad YOU really are. for example, when Norton speaks about immigration in american History X, I was not terrified at his views so much as how i found myself nodding in agreement, amazed at how elequently one can make such a distasteful arguement. Their are two sides to every story, you know, and we pick the one most palatable. In affect, our ability to judge without baggage is nonexsistant.
I honestly believe that I am not a Bigot. You can tell me I'm fooling myself, but the only people I am prejudiced against are Prejudiced People...
