No, I cannot. I've never seen that show, but I am familiar with where they're coming from because I have seen similar "cultural insensitivity" in other clips as well as numerous Russian and Ukrainian shows. They don't see it as racist or insensitive because they've never dealt with that particular topic of racism. To them it's funny. To them it's harmless. Most importantly, it's not taboo. Nobody would look down on you if you paint your face black to portray a black person.
