A black Briton just sounds like the rest of the Britons.
A black American sounds nothing like a white American unless it's Bryant Gumble.(I know I'm generalizing)
We have a plethora of accents that can mixed together. I know it doesn't happen all the time but it ain't odd when it does.
It appears then that it isn't that British comedy has lack of diversity, it is that you lack diversity in the British comedy you have seen.
However my question was raised because you said
Quote:
the diversity would be just different Europeans.
I asked how that would be different from our diversity because Europe isn't one culture or country and not one language.
I would add that Britain is just as, if not, more diverse as a nation than the USA.

Sorry I meant UK.
Plus I'm talking about television. I know Koreans, Japanese, Jews, etc migrate there and are born there. I wouldn't surprised if the UK has a Chinatown.
Many places in the US and Canada do.

No wonder British humor doesn't really catch on here....jeez. :ermm:
Someone puhleaze let me in on it. You guys are jiving around that you really thought that shit was funny.
I liked when JP posted Mr. Stabby (that was funny) but come on...you're kidding..right...I mean really, right..uh kidding? :unsure:
I really wasn't kidding, I don't like his brand of humour (and I'm not british btw). He just tries too hard, and a lot of it is about the colour of his skin.
Maybe I don't like him 'cos we don't really have that kind of system you do wrt ethnic groups, or maybe it's 'cos I only see the kind of person (and I don't mean people just of african descent, it's about the attitude too) he portrays, in american stuff, really, so it's not really real to me.
But I though Seinfeld was sort of funny, sometimes.
To each their own and all that.
Weeble rawks, I like it the way I like Monty Python, I like it 'cos it's surreal.
And that thing about diversity you said- :blink:
Re: Could you kill a man.
Bleh. René Artois pwns Weebl and Dave Chappelle every day of the week. :01:
