Re: Racism
No it's not okay in any shape or form. I found a very good quote that fits this perfectly
"When people judge another you do not define them you define yourself" Wayne Dyer.
It's not about Scotland - it's about Malcolm . If it's any consolation he hates fat people too - constantly banging on about them too. I feel sorry for Robbie Coltrane. Actually I seem to recall he is also very denigrating about women - very denigrating.
I suspect he might have been bullied at school by a female Scottish roly poly - do you think? I'm laughing at my own joke here.
Racism although intolerable in most civil society, seems to be accepted on here - just go onto some of the Islam/Muslim threads it'll make your hair curl.

Time after time the few of us on here who are from Scotland have to put up with Malcolm saying how much he hates everything about Scotland .
This includes
The way Scottish people speak . With handy clips of fictional characters speaking the sort of way that I have never heard in all my whole life in Scotland .
There are criticisms of Scottish food
Music
Drinks
And then he says basically that he hates everything about Scotland .
I have said before this is racism but it seems that it's ok .
I'm pretty sure if I was continually saying these sort of things about African people or Chinese people for example that it would not be tolerated for one minute .
So just wondering really if everyone else thinks it's ok ?
