M Thomas writes eloquently about golliwogs and how offensive they are (Letters, May 8).
He then relates their existence to racial hatred and abuse. I would be interested to know the views of a representative selection of black people.
Somehow, I get the impression it is white do-gooders who have the prejudice and the vast majority of black people have no more problem with golliwogs than with Barbie or Action Man dolls.
