The Show Is Not about Race’”: Custom, Screen Culture, and the Black and White Minstrel Show
In 1967, when the BBC was faced with a petition by the Campaign Against Racial Discrimination requesting an end to the televised variety program the Black and White Minstrel Show (1958–1978), producers at the BBC, the press, and audience members collectively argued that the historic presence of minstrelsy in Britain rendered the practice of blacking up harmless.

The figure of the profiteering villain embodied anxieties about profiteering, food shortages, and 'big business' during a pe…
