Does this constitute snobbery?

I did a gig in Grimsby with Kazuko Shirashi a few years ago who read erotic poetry in Japanese while we noodled about in a free jazz stylee
we were going to be called "Bishop of Fish" in honour of the Fish-Bish
but chose another name

Yes, quite.

Your earlier part quoting of Greenaway - Roger, not Peter - provides us with a political correctness dilemma. Strictly speaking, it would have been preferable with hindsight if Blue Mink had been more cross-racial than they were so that all of the lyrics were ironic self-reference. But I guess they got away with it because their fundamental message was one of racial harmony. One should hear it as a part of the innocent times before the New Seekers' "I'd Like To Teach The World To Sing" was captured by the early neoliberal forces of coca cola.

"Oh like a Curly Latin kinkies
Oh Lordy, Lordy, mixed with yellow Chinkees, yeah"

Etc.
