Is that racist? It might be a bit patronising - a consequence of our cosseted ignorance - but probably no more patronising than Bono and Bob Geldof have a tendency to be with their self-serving philanthropy. Viewed through the conditioning of our own culture and ignorance we find them really funny, which probably wasn't their original intent. It's a load of African movie posters from the 80s and 90s, some of which are rather liberal interpretations of Hollywood blockbusters. For the rest of us - particularly those wracked with a sort of white, middle class, British guilt - life can be a maze of self-condemnation. There's probably a wonderful freedom in knowing, and not caring, about your prejudices. Do you know the worst thing about not being one of those racists? It's this: worrying that you might've done something inadvertently racist.
