Sorry to post this again, but clearly poster above has not bothered reading the thread.

Quote from parent at the school (racial origin unknown and irrelevant):

"To black up in this day and age is taking things too far. I know it was a diversity day and it was supposed to help bind cultures together but having a bunch of white guys with black faces turn up at a primary school and prance about is just plain wrong and would have caused confusion among the kids."
