In Dominic Behan's song McAlpines Fusileers, he writes of stripping to the skin with old "Darkie Finn".....I always presumed Finn to be a n Irishman stained with coal or stone dust.....would that line need to be censored? How would we determine Finn's racial identity?

I would also add that I personally have spent time on the "shuttering jams in the hydro dams" in Sheara and Cruachan......and nobody gave a flying fuck what colour you were.....we were too busy keeping ourselves alive.
