by factors such as heritable phenotypic characteristics or geographic ancestry, but also often influenced by and correlated with traits such as appearance, culture, ethnicity, and socio-economic status. In the early twentieth century the term was often used, in its biological sense, to denote genetically divergent human populations which can be marked by common phenotypic traits
Yeah ir does. On your census form that you filled in there is a section that says ethnicity you can tick Irish in that....... that is ethnicity taken care of. Geography....check. a whole different island. Culture, certainly socio-economic, yep. appearance...maybe not. Genetics, certainly.
Bullshit. By that logic Glaswegians and Edinburghers are different races. Geography: East coast/north sea - West coast/Atlantic Socio-economic: Edinburgh is the financial centre of Scotland - Glasgow is a city built on it's industrial heritage Appearance: Edinburgh people are taller and healthier than Glasgow people Genetics: Glasgow has a more Scandanavian and Irish genetic blueprint whereas Edinburgh is more influenced by Anglo Saxon genetics. But we're not separate races and neither are the Irish.
Then perhaps you should campaign to have edinburgher added to the census form? Until that time, you'll have to accept that we are ethnically different having different cultural needs and sensitivities. You shall also have to accept that every time you make a derogatory remark about the Irish, it is racist.
You know who else has annoyed me? Me. I called someone a dick head today for being a dick head. I used to call people dickheads..... now I call them dick heads....and i kinda like it. I also used to say thank-you to people when they did something that merited thanks.....now i say thangyoo. That annoys me. I am becoming like these people.
why is this a sticky? That makes me look like an attention seeker. I can just bump it as things irritate me. Look at me for **** sake. I haven't abused Chico Jetset at all and he treats this place like a facebook update. Had sandwiches today, they made me fart. who likes pork pies?
It just ain't gonna happen. I have too much self respect. I have to leave my trousers outside the house as I am disgusted that Toutpussy lives in my pocket.
