When I was little, I had a book called 'Zehn kleine Negerlein'. Ten little negrolets.

I now can't think of what to say about that. It seems you've said it all.

You know, until your rant just now I, also, shrugged off this thing as storm in a pc teacup. Somehow I hadn't realised that it was Carol Thatcher who was saying this. And my mind was changed! Does that mean that in my brain it's okay for a random person to say gollywog but not for the Iron Lady's daughter?

It's all interesting, and somewhat unsettliing, to think about.
