@calestous@ProfBrianCox Exactly why I love travelling to new places - new experiences and other cultures! -
@minxlj odd quote from a guy who wrote some fairly racist stuff -
@Metaorphan Not sure when he wrote that, maybe it was afterwards and he realised he'd been a dick? ;) -
@minxlj well it's an open ended debate, was he racist or just reflecting the world in which he lived -
@Metaorphan It was after visiting Europe@minxlj

@calestous@ProfBrianCox Thomas Cook 1841. -
@drogue7@calestous@ProfBrianCox It was organised, but not mass. Most mass tourists today almost don't have any touch with locals. -
@drogue7@calestous@ProfBrianCox Which definitely doesn't help much against bigotry. -
@sngilmour
@calestous@ProfBrianCox Yes, meeting locals can broaden minds, if those minds are open.
