Yeah, I guess.
We always said 'blue in the face', rather than black, so I guess there's no interpretation there (until we encounter a blue alien race...)
Not sure saying that a starving African would appreciate the food your wasting could ever be construed as racist, though...
A starving Welshman or anyone else would appreciate it just as much!
'Love Thy Neighbour' is an interesting one - People always leap onto the racist slurs which would never be acceptable these days (and rightly so), but the real message in that programme was that the men were ignorant idiots and their wives were the only reasonable people.
Sexism that still seems quite acceptable judging from a lot of TV ads, but would be totally unacceptable if reversed...

Breitling Cosmonaute 809 - What's not to like?
Talking of remakes...I bet you would have been flummoxed if he'd asked you to name the Seven Samurai. I know that I would...
Was Kiss, Cuddle or Torture a thing elsewhere?

Well, we live in a World incapable of coping with nuance or indeed anything other than absolutes. I would say that everything's either black or white... but... well...!
The more volatile virtue-signallers of this World can, and do, find fault merely with discussing one's bemusement with the sweeping social changes that have rattled through the lifetimes of us older geezers! We can't change the past, we can only learn from it. Hopefully...

Seem to remember ‘Benny’ being an insult early ‘80s.
