• Damon Wayans who plays the character Pierre Delacroix works for a television company called CNS, where he has his a section where black people would be on the show. It was called the CP time, coloured people time.
• Thomas Dunwitty, who proclaim that he is black and brought up in a black society, he say he is more black than Pierre and that he can use the work nigga in his conversation just because he is married to a black women. Going in this office room we see that he a lot of black picture.
• Mantan: the new millennium minstrel show is with black actor with black face, this is extremely racist.
• The young boy that is playing Mantan is a tap dancers this is a stereotype of the shoe shinning.
• Dunwitty the boss say it will be a successful if the black men dress up and make fool of themselves and act like bafoons.
• Dunwitty says that black people are lazy, ignorant, uneducated negro, unlucky, sleep and eat and dum witted. Politically black people do associate them with these words, they are usually furious.
