Martin Kimani comments on an article that discusses a white British antiques dealer who wants to be a Maasai, and argues that it is only the latest example of an unhealthy British obsession. The Kenyan-born libertarian blogger writes: "Colonialists like their savages savage in a romantic mould. There is a streak of masochism in having your material world dismissed by people who have little but vanity and some sick cows. Colonialists want to believe their subjugated people were worth conquering...they are also good for a shag now and then says AA Gill in the London Times to much hilarity."
More minstrelsy by white folks....
