Absolutely. I fear that we can all pose questions on this issue but can provide no answers, because there are none. Or maybe there are too many..... Do I have the right to withhold knowledge from others? Would that be patronising in the extreme? (you can't handle the truth...)
I am not one to go all dewy-eyed over traditional cultures or marvel at their ways of life and so on over my breakfast meusli, to me they're just another bunch of guys.
Every case has to be looked at on its own, there can be no blanket policy. Even the divisions between "cultures" are blurred - how often do you see tribal people on the telly, all wearing T-shirts and shorts, spectacles and baseball caps, most wanting to be teachers?
Today, Bradford. Tomorrow, well, Bradford probably.
