Hester RACISM in British Folk Movement (84* d) RE: RACISM in British Folk Movement 25 Apr 03

Hi, Mario:

I'm glad to hear that this seems to be an isolated incident.

However, it is not my first experience with racists being attracted to English folklore & customs. I run an on-line Robin Hood discussion group, and several times I have had to ban white supremacists who have attempted to join.

I'm very new to the folk world, and am interesting in joining in local folk societies, but I am concerned about running into people with such attitudes. So, I'm seeking reassurance from the Mudcat community, to tell me how common a problem this is in real-life folk groups.

I'm hoping, as you say, that's its just an on-line infestation of "trolls".

Hester
