this is the situation , it is acceptable to disguise but not full face disguise, the irony of all this is that it is now acceptable according to the new guidelines... to disguise as a black and white minstrel,which has racist connotations, on a white face all that has to be done now is copy the black and white minstrel design in a patternblack
to quote Snuffy who is quoting the new guidelines
If you want to use only black, including smudgy or streaky designs, that is fine too – just keep it to less than half of the visible skin on your face. Obvious patterns and designs are also a good way of using black without the potential to cause problems.

I dont suppose anyone other than a racist would want to imitate black and white minstrel design,
but those racists who apparently have infiltrated morris dancing could now proceed to cause further trouble if they so wish.
the whole area is now a minefield.
