Subject: RE: Folklore: Blacking up for morris - origin?
Pavane,

I have tried my best to put the case simply.
1. Morris has been changing for 500 odd years its what happens.
2. Some of us are offended by white people blacking up.
3. We are no more gender or PC Police than dancers are racist.
4. Although as you can see from the post above we need to be careful.

Native Americans are not red they, like most people are variations of brown

Cheers
