/// I've read the BAFTA link three times now and cannot see why you're referring to a pre multi-racial Britain. ///
*** In the aftermath of the Charlie Hebdo attacks in Paris, the media has come out in full force to defend the right to our freedom of expression. What sort of responsibility does this right imply – given that the freedom to broadcast lies at the heart of our creative industries? ***
It's all part of the same thing, I have put my own interpretation to a certain news report which perhaps chose not to put the same interpretation on it that I have done.
But then that is what this site is all about and others such as yourself do the same, if we were to just repeat what the press report said then all one would need to do is to provide a solitary link.
So I make no excuse for linking pre-multi racial British humour to today's 'being careful what one says' British society we live in today.

I hear what you're saying, but some might look at this story and consider it in the wider aspect of censorship, especially as the context refers explicitly to the reaction to 'Sachsgate'.
This appears to be the core of the issue.
Of course, what is considered racist jokes are part of this, but to look at a report which talks about censorship and to post a question about 'multi-racial' Britain limits the scope of the debate.
What we can see, quite clearly, is that broadcasters have to be wary of offending everyone.
Does the 'Sachsgate' story not prove this?

//The outdated racist comedy that took the *** out of the people that built this country? Get rid of it and it's supporters. //
but it's not just comedy with a 1970s attitude though is it, jobabob?
doubtless there are many on here who think dapper laughs is dead cool. i really cannot see humour in singling out a female member of your audience and telling eveyone she's "gagging to be raped".

//am i allowed to laugh at it?//
i guess that depends on your sense of humour. it leaves me cold, but you might have a more "modern" outlook than me.
but to help make up your mind, here's the gag that got his last series pulled:-
