Yeah I like the guys who go full Brythonic god.   The blackface not so much. (The ones who say "it's not racist, it's tradition", and then it turns out that their nickname is 'the Zulus' and part of the act is monkey noises are pretty funny though, but I'm laughing at them.)

It says RIGHT THERE that it's a corruption of "darking day", which refers to the process of putting on blackface. I like that the Wikipedia article says several times that the origins are definitely not racist. Maybe that's true, but I would find it more convincing if they offered any alternative theory than the obvious for why you have to paint your face black. The minstrel songs don't help either.

Like it is plausible to me that there is a completely innocent historical reason for it and this lovely tradition has been unfortunately tarred with the same brush as racist caricatures elsewhere. But at some point maybe you have to just accept that it's just not a good look any more, maybe try blue paint instead.

 Top tip to change duvet covers using the standard method of changing a duvet, but presumably also how Brits change into their darkie-killing costumes.

Went to the Isle of Wight once. Got off the ferry, went into the nearest shop to get a coke or something and oh boy that was a lot of gollywogs they had.

Isomermaid posted:racist duvet ghost I don't think that Seville necessarily needs to change that one, because they had it first and it was people that hate them who stole it or may have stolen it or whatever, whereas blackface wasn't mocking Cornish people, but it definitely has uncomfortable optics in current times.  (Although it is easy to distinguish because it also has bishops in purple ones and cardinals in red ones and so on, and has a purpose besides waving loser flags and being a oval office, so yes, maybe try blue paint instead.)

Surely it's easier to just have more than one blanket? I have a couple of king size thin-ish ones that you can just burrito yourself in. I drag them around the house and live like ET.

you can still find beds made up in the houses of elder folk who never bought into duvets and it's a very elaborate layering of sheets and quilts and blankets and frilly anomalies
