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 can fuck your shit up defriend you. Thanks.

Indeed.

Oh, with the Welsh thing again.

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.

Racism shits me. It's just so petty. When will people learn that that shit just isn't cool. It's like if I ran around telling everyone that all Italians are rude, inconsiderate perverts because of my negative experience with Italians. Just because the majority of my experiences have been bad doesn't make all Italians bad people.

I'm not exactly sure where you got "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." out of what she said...from the screencap or otherwise. Its obvious, as most people know, that you don't like her.

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.

Dude, that's messed. Most Welsh people are lovely and have terribly beautiful accents. I mean, come on. Pubs really aren't the best place to measure a nation's culture.

Er, wow. That is baffling to me that someone would seriously think like that.

I have not met every nationality on our little planet, but I have met a colour and race. I was born to a white and very racist family. Somehow that character flaw did not stick with me. As I was saying... out of all the races I have met there have been ignorant, stupid, nasty, arrogant, evil, perverted people, equally I have met some of the warmest and beautiful souls in evry colour of our rainbow nation of humanity. Some time, some day, we will hopefully evolve beyound colour, beyound race and come to realize we are all here together sharing equal problems, traumas and challenges. We all share the same small planet and what ever one does in a country across the world will eventually effect the one we are in. We must evolve beyound colour....

Thanks for the post...

There are too many motherfucking morons in your life. How can that NOT be racism?
