Subject: RE: Are racist, but traditional, songs OK?
The question is then, what would you do with such songs? Ban them from being performed in public? If so, where do you draw then line? What about songs that are offensive to the English? What about songs that praise alcohol? What about songs of domestic abuse? And who decides where to draw that line? Once you start to censor lyrics you are on a slippery slope.
