Or is this just the usual "I know nothing about it but no of course it's not racist, NOTHING is racist  " stuff.
Oh wait I forgot; a couple of "real life" Zulu descendants who are involved in the show think it's OK so it must be OK.

Putting a slightly different slant on it, but the principle is the same in my opinion, should women then not be offended when men dress up as women for entertainment purposes ie drag queens.
Don’t you think that men dressing up as women to prance around in costumes might not be seen as sexist and insensitive by some people! Or don’t the feelings of women count as they seem to be the most mis-treated group of people worldwide despite making up 50% of the population. What does that say about how women and their feelings count in the eyes of many.
