Backwoodsman, I bet there hasn't ever been a single complaint from any black person. I'd wager a half of Adnams on it. And to me it's rather an insult to their intelligence for people to imagine that they mind in the least.
It is a great pity that there aren't more black folk in the Morris dancing world. Once years ago, at the Morris Ring event in Weston-Super-Mare, I was delighted to see a Sikh, complete with a flower-decorated turban, dancing in a Cotswold Morris side. I did hope then that other 'ethnic minorities' (daft expression) would start to be more in evidence, but I haven't noticed any, sadly.
I wish we'd had a video camera to film my husband dancing with Moss Ambrose and Leeds Morris, clutching a stick and skipping along holding his hand. He also danced with Red Leicester at the Straw Bear in Whittlesea. I wonder if I could persuade him to apply for membership of the Witchmen, or Old Glory perhaps? Hook Eagle is another of my favourites, and they black up.
