Yes I suppose. I always just thought of him as some kind of demonic, wife-stealing circus ringmaster. Absolutely not a black man though.I always thought Papa Lazarou was based on an over the top version of Travellers and the fear in which small town Britain views them
Having thought about the Boosh a bit more I can see how The Spirit of Jazz might be considered problematic.
Why not just pull those episodes though?
Seems like posturing from Netflix to me. Doesn't really do anything to actually address the issue.

Just that video alone you can see how split the views on what happened are.
Would that incident of happened if it wasn’t for what’s going on today or is it a result of the current situation?
I hate to say it but I can see a lot of blood on the streets coming very soon.
Hope not mate , I know sombody said they hope it rains this weekend ,but it might be better all around if it did.
Little bits around the country seem to point to it getting a bit hot under the collar,
Should imagine the big cities will have it boxed off trouble wise but it's the smaller places that it will get dangerous.

Sounds like this tough guy wants a fight in the streets because people don't agree with him.
Lol London football fans. All the Chelsea, Tottenham, Arsenal fans will be ready for war and to broadcast it on youtube in the streets.
I'll die for that slave traders statue damn it.
Good move but such a sad state of affairs.
Netflix pulls The Mighty Boosh and The League of Gentlemen over blackface
Critics call removal of shows from streaming service ‘arbitrary gesture’ that does little to combat racismamp.theguardian.com
Hot on the heels of dropping Little Britain, Netflix continues its cultural purge of shows that don’t fit the times we live in. I do wonder if context is important or whether some things are just “bad” even if it’s just comedy. Portraying a character of another race than your own even if it’s for comedic purposes isn’t the best thing to do.
I genuinely hate to go tit for tat on these issues but it’ll be interesting to see if they remove White Chicks.
Race or tit for tat shouldn't come into it, just ban it regardless

Given this sudden focus on racism and trying to censor history going on as a result.
Back in the 1700s you also had sexism , homophobia.
They are issues that exist today as well, in a different respect. Why isn't anyone talking about the impact of that in history?
Is it because that's not the trendy subject right now?

Discussions on sexism and homophobia are constant.

But noone has ever talked about pulling statues down, censoring history or even pulling tv shows in the name of it.
Noone is marching for gay rights , noone is fighting inequality in sexes.
Racism will have been a discussion going on as well, long before marches and protests. So what's the difference?
You mean the biological accurate statement she made that the trans community have chosen to interpret as anti trans , despite the little relevance to them?
All I will say on that matter is that someone who is transgender , either sex doesn't menstruate.
If people want to take that fact and turn it to offend people then is that not a concerning environment that we are creating?

Whites were enslaved by Muslims 500 years ago but let’s not talk about that
One million Christian Europeans were enslaved in North Africa in the 16th/17th century again let’s not talk about that.
A white guy called Tony Timpa was brutally killed by police in Dallas the exact same way (Knee on his neck died within 10 minutes) as George Floyd was killed, and again let’s not talk about that.
Let’s talk about modern day slavery that’s happening right NOW! in China or Bangladesh...sweat shops, human trafficking. Nah let’s not talk about that either.
Let’s only talk about what the MSM wants us too!!
