The Golliwog debate continues

If you have something so weird, strange or off-topic to post and think it doesn't belong in any other forum; you're probably right. Please put all your gormless, half-baked, inane, glaikit ideas in here. This might also be a place where we throw threads that appear elsewhere that don't belong ANYWHERE end up, instead of having to flush them. FORUM RULES STILL APPLY.

And here's a person of mixed race eager to tell us about how deeply he was offended
to see golliwogs on sale on the Shetlands. He then bought one and turned the issue
into a political polemic.

but a number of commentators tell him that he showed no decency or good manners
