On here you can be any colour

But I have to admit, not declaring any ethnic sensitivities doesn't solve all problems.

There are plenty of people who tread on others' toes. The commercially motivated with spin. People with low self esteem who need agreement. Flamers who don't care. Unthinking folks. Hasty happytappers.
But there are forums with worse communities for all of this.

Then there is the archive of old songs that are what they are. Shanties have been bowdlerised because of it.

When you are amongst friends it should be easier.
