I cant honestly see what all the fuss is about. If you dress up as a clown you wear make up. If you dress up as a geisha girl you wear make up to look the part and if you dress up as a Zulu then surely blackening your face makes the costume look more authentic. So all you people that are against this then grow up get a life and leave the bonfire blokes alone. They are definetely not racist so keep your probing nose out.

True story. One day at work I gave an informal presentation to a girl who was getting married. I wished her and her prospective husband a happy honeymoon and to take care in the sun and not get too brown (meaning take care in the sun and don't come back making us all envious). A west indian colleague in the office took offence - I was then hauled up in front of senior management on a race discrimination charge!
