MaJoC the Filk Gunga Din. Racist or just of its time? (147* d) RE: Gunga Din. Racist or just of its time? 16 Feb 24

*Agree*, Stilly. "The only lesson learnt from history is that nobody learns from history."* That's why history goes in circles (or at least rhymes): "Don't bother with Granddad's warnings --- everything's different this time."

By all means put up a notice warning that this poem, or that TV programme (eg Up Pompeii! or Upstairs Downstairs), reflects the attitudes its time, but don't ban it. Cancellation means nobody gets the chance to learn, even if they want to.
