I have to say, I never thought of Julian Fellowes as being "woke"…
Yes, a black lady who has been robbed is sat at a railway station. A white woman takes pity on her and is allowed to accompany her on a train to her wealthy aunt, on the basis she will be allowed to live there.

Basically, the black lady’s sense of superiority overcomes any lame ‘discrimination’ that clearly exists, and she easily gets a job which enables her to earn decent money. 🤭😂😂😂

It is such a wildly ridiculous idea that it’s laughable - things simply were not like that back that back in the day. The drama trivialises what these people went through and actually weakens their case for equality at the end of the day - was this the intended consequence of our attempted re-education?

If so, it has failed spectacularly.
