Yeah, but the racism thing? The Brits were a LOT less racist than the Yanks who came over in WW2.
And I'm not just talking about the 'uneducated white trash' yanks. Trufax.

Well that was kinda the point
As in 'dont be shocked if a nice old lady asks a negro over for tea... they dont seem to see a problem with that in england, like what you might do'
Was just interesting to see racism of americans acknowledged (in a film made for their consumption), with a general 'you know it's prejudiced and wrong, so don't be surprised if you see people not being racist over here in england, and try to keep a lid on it if you can'.
(goes without saying you only need to wind the clock back to the 18th century and england was busy rounding up slaves in africa, so there's no moral high-ground here really...)

Speaking of prejudice
I was hoping to see a mention of women soldiers. This whole video reminded me of the guide to GIs linked some time ago, wherein Americans are advised to 'treat women soldiers with respect; they didn't earn those medals for darning socks.'
