Joe's experience with Brits using the C-Bomb in (sorta) everyday conversation is spot on.

i feel compelled to defend designing women some. it was a great show, and actually pretty progressive for the 80s. when kevin mentioned the blackface in the episode he saw, even without remembering the specific episode i knew immediately which character had done it and could guess how every other character felt about it (i.e., strongly opposed). (i looked it up, and i was right about that.) so, although designing women was a sitcom and set in a later time period (1980s georgia vs. 1960s new york), i think the use of blackface in that episode was more in the vein of what mad men did with my old kentucky home than, say, soul man. it makes the audience and other characters uncomfortable, it shows the character doing it as out of touch and antiquated - and, in the case of designing women, stubborn, because her peers had already told her they thought the idea was racist and inappropriate. it's not great the show did it at all, but it wasn't like "ha ha she's in blackface and that's what makes it funny." i also want to note a kind of parallel to 30 rock, in that designing women had dixie carter, who in real life was a registered republican with a libertarian bent, playing a liberal firebrand who frequently gave impassioned speeches/rants about social justice issues. here's an example (this one concerning religion in public schools): https://youtu.be/VnMn-ObT0r8?si=JMIxyOS54eWmpV7E
