So very true! If anything it just made racism look even more stupid than we all know it is.
I can sort of see why the Americans feel weird about seeing someone who is black being a maid but then again, if that would've been the case at the time, why not show that? And as we've said, Martha just blows it all out of the water when she shows how much she knows and how clever she is.
