Just for the record, stating that a man allegedly felt you up because he was Welsh and implying that all Welshmen are perverts is racism.
Just the same as saying a man is obviously going to mug you because he's black would be.
Another nationality or race sharing your skin colour does not make it okay to make negative generalisations about them, especially when you're using them to influence people's opinion of a country.
English people - of which I am clearly one - have a reputation of arrogance as a nation, if you go to another country and propagate that stereotype of course the locals will dislike you. It's your responsibility to show them that it's untrue.
I have never met a Welsh person - in or outside of their home country - who was not lovely; including Simon, who is from Port Talbot near Swansea, and who has been a dear friend of mine since I was 16. To assume that all Welsh people are bullies and perverts - to call them such in other people's journals, especially when that person is expressing an interest in moving to the country - is fucking appalling. To genuinely believe what you are saying, is very, very sad and ignorant.
If anyone else around shares this kind of prejudice, let me know so I canfuck your shit up defriend you. Thanks.

Certain types of English people might actually want to think on why Welsh people are so assertive and sure of themselves. I'm sure hundreds of years of history of bullying and oppression by their English neighbours, which they are only just really starting to undo, might have something to do with that.

"I'm not entirely sure how my standing at a bar talking to a friend makes a man coming up and putting his hand up my skirt acceptable, but obviously in your opinion it is."
Because he did that BECAUSE HE'S WELSH, not because he was a (probably drunk) man acting like a wanker, and could just as easily have been some English bloke in a pub in Manchester. Or London. Or Leeds. Or fucking Bognor.

Oh, srsly, no-one is trying to say that guy's behaviour was acceptable, and I'd be the first in there to slap someone down if they were; however attributing it to someone's ethnicity is just poor form and uber-ignorant. You get wanker-males who think that shit is acceptable every-fucking-where. They come in all nationalities and in all colours.

Hey - why don't we just call all Germans fascists, all black Caribbeans lazy pot-smoking criminals, all Scots tight-fisted and all Americans bigotted, over-weight God-botherers?
Because that would be just as true, wouldn't it?

I really think its time for you to stop putting words in her mouth and get over whatever it is you have against her. Its childish and immature to twist everything someone says to make it fit what you want it to say just so you can look good.
And really, its kind of sad and pathetic.

I could show you an entire IM conversation in which she slagged off Amanda, if you really wanted.
Gill is a silly, ignorant, messed up girl and she needs to realise that saying someone shoved their hand up her skirt because they are Welsh is racism.
You need to learn more about her before you start defending her.
Go away, now.

The only thing sad and pathetic is her attitude towards a specific nationality of people. No one's putting any words in her mouth.

I can't figure out how her silly little friends can see what she said as meaning anything different, either.

But to say that someone would behave in an immoral way, as this person has done, both in the last day or so, and several months back, is appalling to me.
I can't understand how someone would think that way.

I think we've had our chance, and made such a mess of our planet and our relationships between cultures and races that we should vow, as a species, to remove ourselves from the picture. Just stop breeding and die out.

Jay's view as a parent is very different, his little girl has given him a lot more faith in humanity, which is good for him. He used to be as cynical about this as I am.
It's a relief to know that at least some people aren't so despairing about the world we live in.
