I was going to ask who is more to blame for racist beliefs, an individual or his family/society, but it seems a bit heavy for early morning. so - what do you think of buskers? musicians or annoying beggars? ever give them anything?

alt: so this summer is going to be the hottest on record, scientists say. REALLY?

altalt: go on then. best 3 breakfast items?

Rather than having a general opinion on all buskers (bit racist), I judge each on their individual merits.
I think it can brighten a place up if there is some nice music.
If they sound good, I will give them money.
It may not shock you to learn that I have been a busker myself and yes, I was good.

Alt: I think you are going with the media interpretation of what meteorologists have decided is likely using modelling systems.
It could probably still go either way, but we always insist on a prediction.

Precisely, you have to try to remember the context of the times.
It's interesting to see the crowd shots of Jimi Hendrix at Monterey - people were shocked beyond belief at what they had just witnessed.
These things are old hat to us now, but they had never happened before.

3 breakfast items.
That's not a breakfast. At best it's half a breakfast. Realistically a third of a breakfast. You need two meets and a form of eggs as a base. Then a potato based product. A form of tomatoes and blood based pudding. There is then a minimum requirement for some fried fungus and you better not leave out a bread course or they'll be bloody murder.

In short, stupid question.

Serious answer
I grew up in Cornwall. For every 1000 people, 977 are White. The school I went too had only one non white kid there. My grandparents were what I call ignorant racists, no malice or actual prejudice, but if they saw a black person whilst out shopping they would call their mates to tell them of this unusual occurrence. My best friend was a massive racist, he emigrated to Australia where he fits in just fine. A lot of the people round here are very working class and use racist terms without thinking, I usually put this down to the fact that no-one is around to be offended. Chinese people are referred to as chinks, anyone with light brown skin is a paki including the Turkish people that run the local kebab shop. Black people are either coons, nignogs or coloureds. My mother in law thinks that coloureds is a perfectly acceptable way to refer to black people, again, no malice or prejudice, just ignorance. HOWEVER, it is getting better there are 4 black people to every 977 white people in Cornwall but thats probably 4 times more than 20 years ago and ignorant racism is on the decline so I agree that upbringing and social conditioning can and do play a part. But my sister isn't a racist and she was bought up surrounded by racists, mind you, she believes in God.
