Honestly though. Anyone who is trying to claim that there isn't any issue with a big bald tattooed white bloke, with a pub called "The White Hart", choosing to decorate it with other one or two but FIFTEEN dolls which specifically exaggerate the physical features of black people for caricature / comic effect...

Either lying or stupid. Take your pick I guess

Maybe cos he assumed you was a racist like him and the rest of the customers, and he wanted your money?

Maybe you could say that seeing as gollywogs are loved, cuddled and generally associated with happiness, denying this lovely man. As that is how i can only judge him. Denying him the right to show off a historic toy as popular as teddy bears like the gollywog is tantamount to racism itself...so maybe you are the racist cause you are seeing a cuddly toy as something nasty simply because its black.

Excellent, well thought-out argument. 10/10.
