Subject: RE: Shrewsbury FF to ban 'blacked up' Morris
That's a sane and balanced statement from Professor Hutton. The globalisation genie is out of the lamp. I'd say that no-one should be ordering anyone to stop doing it, and I'd also say that it's unfair to call a whole bunch of Morris dancers racist. But it's just best all round not to be doing it any more. That's OK. Traditions can move on uninjured.
