Border Morris dance some dances they have made up, to tunes that were almost certainly never used for morris and on instruments sometimes invented in the 20C. They wear costumes sometimes unrelated to the custom they claim to be reviving. But they hang on to the bit of tradition that has one foot in 19C music hall racism.

I don't think those who dance Border are racists. The question within the "Morris community" is are they respecting their own history and origins in completely ignoring the contribution made from Minstrelsy.

Best wishes
