hmmm - racism in Britain...
did you know:
for a long time, it was not allowed to sell black dolls ??
"Golliwogs" - black coloured soft rag or wool-waste dolls - are banned
in Bradford (northern England) the "non-white" town mayor BANNED
Christmas Lights from the streets, so as to "not disturb the
non-christian population" (the mayor was moslemic).
that "White Trash" is permissable, as it is a "typical ethnic expression"
yes - we are christians and believe in turning the other cheek, so
mis-quoting original british colloquialisms is quite acceptable to us
(especially when an important scientist tells us about it)
