A show entitled Mind Your Language, which originally aired fifty years ago in England, is quite controversial due to its portrayal of stereotypes of all races and nationalities.
The series is known for making fun of stereotypes about people from other countries, such as Italy, China, India, or Spain. Some people might consider it harmful, but it’s far from the truth. Mind Your Language doesn’t make fun of particular groups of people, but it makes jokes about everyone equally, including the British. Nonetheless, some of the stereotypes might have changed over the years, so some jokes don’t really make sense nor are they funny.
The show might be considered racist in today`s culture due to fights for equal rights by various groups. Even in this light, it can be entertaining, because it doesn`t use any bad or harmful stereotypes, by pointing out relations between countries and their ruler or government in the 1970s.
In summary, Mind Your Language is a show that can still be enjoyed today, if you take it as a parody of countries and races. Some of the jokes are not as funny today as they used to be fifty years ago, but it can be an interesting and funny series for some of us.
