Admit it, it's slightly sexual, and that's fine, it's reciprocal.

"..And then, on a talent show in Australia, a group of young white men did an "impression" of the Jackson Five in black make-up, or blackface, that would not have been out of place in an Alabama minstrel show in the 1890s."
Or, err, "The BBC1 TV show (The Black and White Minstrel Show) was cancelled in 1978"

Sorry. That was probably one of the most interesting posts ever posted in the history of posts.

I think a lot of the response surrounding the Australian blackface incident is white guilt.

White guilt isn't always bad though.

I agree to some extent, but we aren't culpable for our fathers trangressions, or even positive actions.

Griffin tried to use an awful argument, saying his grandfather was a RAF pilot in the war while Straw's collaborated with Nazis or something.

My best friend and neighbor, the Jamaican lady from next door bought me my favourite dinosaur book. You've got to take each person as they are.

That's exactly how I feel, everybody has their individual merits and it doesn't matter what colour they are or if they have an inny or an outy between their legs. I've lived in "one of the most ethnically diverse local authorities outside of London," my entire life and it gives you a good scope on Britain.

Brighton has a score of 0.22 on the ethnicity index. Not really that great. It is more diverse here than where I used to live, though.

This isn't a "compare how ethnically diverse your town is" gameshow, I was merely referencing my views on race to my upbringing in my town with statistics.

That being said, there's still some racism in this town from almost every ethnic group. Disgusting really when you take into account that if you picked two people at random "there would be a 62 per cent chance that they would be from different ethnic backgrounds."

Lol- I wasn't really treating it like a gameshow, just saying it is good to see more diversity here. Sounds draconian of me to say this, but the first time I have ever had a black friend was when I moved here. It's a Caucasian haven in Shrewsbury where I from originally (on the border of Wales)...
Went to Coventry once and that is very diverse. Still a bit of a crap hole, though IMHO. Too urban for me- pretty horrible.
