I think this debate highlighted something really interesting - if they had just been called 'Policeman', it wouldn't have happened and it wouldn't have caused offence to anyone. The smallest amount of thought and consideration, especially given the events of this year, would have ensured that this situation didn't occur.
There is no reason why pantomime should fundamentally change - but, as with every form of entertainment, it has a responsibility to look at its practices and improve on them.
