Given the laws of the UK relating to racially aggravated offences, you try calling someone an 'Irish bastard' and see just how far your argument goes in court. Good luck
The law might say different... But does that mean all laws are correct? It's an ethnic group... It's too easy to play the race card.
As far as I have read, the irish/scots/welsh/english are ethnic groups because they have a language (and everything else that makes up a culture) but a common held opinion - not just mine - is that race is strictly biological ...
I understand where pud is coming from. And he is technically correct. However, the common usage of what can be termed racism includes xenophobia. It has for some time.
Pud, you are talking ****e. You do not know better than the law of the land. You do not know better than the UN. You know **** all. Give it up.
