 To be honest though, I'm not as concerned as I was about this film when I read that Stephen Fry was writing the script. He's usually quite good with historical accuracy. I think (and hope) that ****** is the only thing to be changed for modern audiences. Plus David Frost is on the team, so I imagine the reason why it's only just been confirmed now that ****** is out is because it's taken them this long to win him over.

And how come when a black man says that word it's socially acceptable, but with a white man it's not? But I can't ask that as that's also deemed racist to even imply there is a difference one way or the other!

And back on topic...I'm on the fence about this. I can see why they would change it, but then again, why should they? I guess the controversy of changing it is much less than the controversy of not changing it.

 My favorite "token black" is the cook in "Crash Dive." All of the period WW2 movies have their token black dude, and jewish guy, and someone from Flatbush.
