Pretty much every border Morris side I know that uses facepaint will wear colours instead of blackface but for all I know that's a regional thing. The problem is that a lot of the time blackface in folk traditions such as Morris dancing or mumming isn't meant to represent a caricature of a black person, but rather to disguise the dancer / performer - especially in mumming, as one of the things you're supposed to do when the mummers come to call is guess who the people are under their disguises. Of course, if you don't know this then it looks hella racist.

Also I'm pretty sure that the primary symptom of excessive Anglophilia is an overindulgence in Dr. Who.

Morris dancing is a weird and shameful thing to do when your inbred village has been doing it for hundreds of years, can't imagine who it attracts in places they don't even have that.

Is there an English version of weeaboo? It sounds like some of these Morris dancers are very into English culture, and perhaps overlap with SCA nerds? But I'm just guessing here.

Funny how you don't see these nerds getting into dance styles like salsa or cumbia or something.

Have you ever considered that it could just be because dance styles like salsa of cumbia require a reasonable level of fitness and skill?

1) Morris is, usually, physically strenuous, what with all the hopping and leaping and running around you do. It's great cardio.

2) Considering how fast and hard you swing a stick during a stick dance you're drat right it requires skill, because if you're not in the right place at the right time you'll get a three-foot stick of one-and-a-half-inch hickory to the skull.

Morris dancing is silly. It looks silly.

I agree it takes skill and practice to do it well, but that adds to the silliness. Because that means taht groups of people spend hours practicing jumping and waving hankies about.

It is a twee, silly, harmless British affectation.

Oh, absolutely. It ought not be taken seriously, and the people who take it super seriously, with arguments over whether women should be allowed to do it, or if new dances are to be allowed, or any other ridiculous argument, are entirely AUG. We dance about with bells on our shins and hankies in our hands, it is entirely a silly, fun thing that by its very nature is ridiculous.

Also there are usually beards and hats.

First time I've recognized someone in the AUG thread that wasn't from previous AUG threads. That's Mike Warnke, a pretty decent comedian but his life is definitely AUG too. He was a Christian evangelical comedian and former Satanic high priest, except it turned out he made up the his Satanism, most of his past, and exaggerated his role in Vietnam and how he got his Purple Heart. Still like the VHS we had of him but boy was that disillusioning to find out.
