Racism

Does everyone believe that all racism is wrong or do some people think it's ok if directed at Scottish people .

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 ?

Re: Racism

My psychic sixth sense is itching and telling me this is going to go well. Not.

Abbey .. had you thought of starting this thread in the new Member Moderated section .. so when it degenerates into a free for all it could be culled.

Re: Racism

I agree with you Abbey .....I happen to think that the Scottish members on here shouldnt have to read such constant negative abusive posts all because they are Scottish.
I love the Scottish accents and think that Scotland is a beautiful place ,one ive yet to visit for myself properly.
I would call it racism Abbey as you have said ,it wouldnt be tolerated if it was about Chinese or African members etc..

Re: Racism

I love Scotland , and the people , not sure if Malcolms remarks are Racist or just plain childish , or even just him spitting out his dislikes without a thought for others feelings .
I think its the latter to be honest .

Re: Racism

Well I'm a Brummie and now live in Wiltshire. I often have the mckey taken out of my accent, the supposed idiocy of all Brummies, and pathetic attempts at mimicking our speech patterns (which always end up as poor Black Country take-offs). It doesn't bother me - I just agree with them which of course takes the wind out of their sails.

I do believe we're all guilty of racism to some degree or another.
