When I saw a production on TV in the 80s the lady novelist and the lady from the provinces were still in there. So I think it varies. I didn't even know the n-word line existed though, and I can't believe I would have missed that.

I think that song is actually meant to be updated with the times and make fun of current events. But there are plenty of people who think the whole operetta is problematic (from an Asian stereotypes point of view) so I haven't listened to it in a long time.

Though the Crown Prince of Japan loved it when he came to London! Both the productions I've seen were making fun of the British obsession with Japanese things at the time, which I think is a good way to handle it, because it certainly could be done in a very racist way.
