The innocence of geriatrics.
In my mid teenage years I joined the church drama group. Come the pantomime I was cast as one of the robbers in Babes in the wood using a script the producer who was in his seventies had used when he was a youth club member in the late 1940s. My character's name was "Dirty Dick". Much sniggering from the youth.
The chorus made up of the Junior department of the Sunday school had a chant that included a verse of "The Hindus come from Hindustan" followed by "The Pakis come from Pakistan." There wasn't much cultural diversity where I grew up.

One the funniest things I saw was an amateur youth production of Snow White my brother was in. He played Grumpy which didn't require any acting on his part but he was and is over 6' tall.
