I thought this was an interesting story. There is an argument in Lewes as to whether an old tradition of locals dressing up as Zulu's is offensive. A Zulu performer says it's not offensive. He make a good a point when he says it's nice that people want to be like him rather than saying it's wrong to be like him. Is that the way the dressing up should be viewed or should we view it that they are mocking him?
I wonder if what they are commemorating is more offensive than the costumes, a war the Zulus lost, then again, are we getting too sensitive about past events and should we simply take them for what they are something that once happened? Interesting one to think about.
What do you think?
