View the Cut Sequence here.
A really good showing spoiled by the removal of the best joke in the film and a racist epithet. That Whites consider it reasonable to remove humour that might upset someone shows just how touchy they are now about these things. The joke of a White pretending to be Black was hilarious when I first saw this movie as it accurately depicted how Whites see Blacks in a way that the wiser Whites would realise was a sarcastic comment on their own racism. Perhaps the White racists who made the silly decision to cut this amusing comedy should resign since they are not fit to make rational determinations on issues of phenotypy.
