@Roy Polloi No, you misunderstood. I'm saying that it's not only "whiny little racists homophobes and sexists" who think that "cancelling" skits such as Harry Enfield's 'Nelson Mandela impersonation is uncalled for. I agree with Enfield's totally non-racist, non-homophobic and non-sexist reasoning; that banning each and every 'white' comedian from ever satirising any non-'white' person; or every 'straight' comedian from satirising any 'gay' person... is not only Orwellian in its anti-free speech censorship but it also exacerbates wounds which, by the turn of this century, were well on their way to healing. Putting any group, but especially minorities, beyond criticism debate and art, "others" them to unnecessary and unhealthy degrees. It also furthers an agenda which Martin Luther King gave his life for fighting against. Segregation.
