Every year hundreds and hundreds of people with blacked-up faces dance past my house. (Folk festival, not marijuana...) Many groups come from abroad, including USA.

It's just fun I think. If black people made a serious objection it would have to stop no doubt. But white Guardian columnists .... not so much.
