I'll tolerate anything until it annoys me .

So therefore toleration is a matter of toleration.

I think El G is saying that before TV most Greek inhabitants had not seen black people, thats not to say that they were unknown.Certainly in rural areas I would think.

It was like that in Padstow until the 1970s. Most inhabitants never saw or came into contact with Black people.

In some parts of the british isles this is still the case today.

I guess they dont see many white faces in many parts of the world.

Or Euros in parts of Mongolia, yet alone Africans.
