Thread Name: RACISM in British Folk Movement
Subject: RE: RACISM in British Folk Movement
Statistically there have to be some racist folkies. I've never met one so far as I'm aware, but then, so long as they button their lips in public, it's not that easy to know when they are around.

The anonymity of the internet might be more likely to encourage them to open up. Even so, I think that creep is the first one I've seen. It's a troll, either a troll who means it, or one who is just stirring for the fun of it. Responding to that kind of thing is really to reward it.

Linking this kind of thing with issues about mixed Morris and all that is a mistake, I feel. It's a separate issue.
