Bob, where has there "been some talk about the racist implications of the "Celtic" revival movement"???    I have not heard this charge before and I would like to know where you are hearing that. It is alarming.    I have not seen evidence of this.

Based on the "message thread" that you discovered, it sounds as if someone had the idea of trying to mingle with crowd at this event. Moonies at airports does not mean that air travelers follow their mantra.

It is alarming that white supremicists exist at all, but I would not say that celtic music is a breeding ground for their type.
