Ethnic press conference

by Dane Baptiste

Comedian Dane Baptiste has posted a sketch from his BBC Three series Sunny-D in response to this week's news events.

The scene, from the pilot episodes, mocks the idea that any one black person can be a spokesman for everybody with the same skin colour.

'With everything that's going on, you tend to find mainstream media will use their black dragnet to get some black people to speak on issues,' Baptiste wrote as he posted the clip on YouTube. 'The thing is that no one person can speak for 0.8bn people.'
