I didn't know that about the deliberate BBC translation mistakes. I saw that video and saw him say "a policeman told me to come to this school". I kind of assumed there was a different emotional undertone than what whites believed, but had no proof of it.
Turns out it wasn't a different cultural mood, just a blatant lie from the translator.
