          Yes, every night after we dance around the Maypole we like up our figurines and have a jolly good old time reminding ourselves what a master race we are. This is especially popular in London which as everyone knows is 99% white...

          My step-grandmother was Scottish. She had a pair of stuffed golliwogs that were always on she and my grandfathers bed on top of the pillows

          I would be interested to see the data @heerjeet is basing this observation on. I don’t think England can be bracketed with Europe, especially when some European countries considered to be tolerant and liberal still celebrate a black face festival (for example).
