Perhaps they took as an example Lewis Hamilton or Jessica Ennis's parents, and thought they were a good example of a British family - but, as I stated earlier, it's only a problem if you think it's a problem.

Rich mixed race families are good typical examples?
nobody is saying it's a problem really. but just because it's not a problem, there is still an answer.

I know lots of families like the one portrayed - and to me, they are just a British family, nothing more or nothing less.

Yes I know. but to some who think further outside the 2' x 2' box are eager to hear why.
I've never played the devils advocaat before, but to prove a point that there was some sort of biast in the way Britains history and its present was represented in the olympics ceremony, is. were there any rich black business people in the industrial revolution era. as there were shown to be in the production?
what I'm saying is. you wouldn't cast white people to represent the black slavery trade would you. just because there's white actors or volunteers willing and wanting to be part in it.
or maybe we would. just to be nice and neutral. I don't know.
