Racism is a mindset or the act of discriminating against a person purely because of their genetics.
Do you genuinely believe the fundraisers involved wish harm or offence towards black people?
If they did, that is racism. If they did not, it is not.

I'm not embarrassed, but thanks anyway.
Why not answer the question? Why is it okay to parody a little ginger bearded character but not a little black one?

Unfortunately I am currently many miles away from the cosy Caithness border, working in Asia with a Thai on my left hand side and an Indian on my right. Both good friends who I will be buying a drink for this evening. Because I don't discriminate on genetics.
Patriotism is when love of your own people comes first; Nationalism, when hate for people other than your own comes first.
