No, it was expected that a gentleman should be racist in those days. If you watch the documentary series "It Ain't Half Hot Mum" you will see that there was an expectation from Officers and NCOs that they should belittle those different from them. This of course came to an abrupt end in the early 1980s when Ben Elton told them off.

I was watching an episode of dads army the other day and Pike said exactly the same rhyme that Clarkson got into to trouble for...... Is'nt there a quote from the novel 'The Go-between' ......... The past is a foreign country......... they do things differently there....

Would...."Love thy neighbour", "It aint half hot mum" and the original (rather watered down later versions) "Till death do us part" get made today ?
