I think the thing with "Revolution" was that just like Mad Mod's prior episode (self titled), it really wasn't trying to aim at any kind of ethnic or personal targets just because the character happens to dress, act, and more importantly THINK in British terminology. I believe that's more of a gimmick thing for him.
Cyborg even said "Yo, I bet even real British people don't like you". One thing Ditchy I think that needs to be realized is that no one in England or any other nation appointed Mad Mod as the representative of all things British, this is merely his own actions, own choices, and own form of representation.
It's just like if he was Chinese, or Japanese, or Russian and they did a whole spiel on nation themed gimmicks and imagery through him. Mad Mod thinks he's representing Britain whether anyone wants him to or not, and this is also evident in his whole "teaching" persona.
No one appointed him a teacher to anybody, he just imposes his own beliefs and own versions of culture on others. Also thing is like Control Freak, Mad Mod is an exaggeration of an image and not meant to insult others. I myself am a geek and don't take offense to Control Freak's actions or personality.
And believe me, there are people who find Control Freak insulting because of his whole unofficial representation of a Star Trek fan. But I understand not everyone will love every episode they see of Titans, I personally just watched the episode and saw it in the same regard I saw "Fracture" or "Episode 257-94"=total wackyness.
