Shaw really doth protest too much in both the foreword and the "sequel"; dude, you wrote a toxic romantic comedy, and if absolutely everyone reads it one way, maybe you're the problem. Pygmalion is a tad sharper than the 1938 film version and a lot sharper than the '64 singalong, and I'm still not sure if the whole white-man's-burden subtext is intended to be there or not, but I love how it manages to walk both sides of the street.
