Naughty blackface in Britain

The shrieks over blackface makeup never seem to end:
"A white actor "blacked-up" to play an African government official in a role-play exercise staged by the elite squad leading the fight against organised crime, The Times has learnt.

The incident, which has led to accusations of crass racism, occurred in a recruitment process for candidates applying to be overseas liaison officers for the Serious Organised Crime Agency (Soca).

A high-level internal investigation into the racism claims is under way. The allegation involving Soca - which boasts on its website that it "fully embraces the principles of diversity" - is the latest in a series of race rows threatening to engulf police and law enforcement agencies.

Why can a white man not pretend to be a black man if he wants to? Is blackness sacred? If so that sure sounds like racism.

Obviously, the Brits don't deserve such highly dedicated public servants to protect them. They're far more concerned with being politically correct, yet another indication of a dying nation.
