Racism

[foulecamp]

Can we keep the remarks about relations with sheep out of a serious website - for Welsh, substitute any other race or religion and see how far you get.

May I remind you that Anne robinson's remarks are still the subject of a police investigation?

[Englishbird]

Is this a joke?

And I think you'll find it was Sudanese .... and a goat.

Also, a white Englishman cannot, cannot be racist to a Welshman or a Scot, or a German or any other white Northern European. You are all the same race.

There are four major races Caucasoids, Negroids and Mongoloids and Native Americans.

It muddies the water when white people talk about racism between each other...it's called 'Nationalism' if anything.

you can subdivide races in different ways - colour isn't the only determinant. I think it's widely accepted that Celts and Anglo-Saxons are different races, descendants of tribes who came to Britain a thousand or so years apart. However, the original question about the Welsh was a serious one, however risque, and not racist.

foulecamp...................I think you must be joking. If you are not, I suggest you are a tad over sensitive and should probably lock youself away in a dark room.

[Ward-Minter]

Dont you EVER, EVER, EVER say I an the same race as the Germans, Scots and especially the Welsh. How very dare you!!!!

[kick3m0n]

Foulecamp....for your information, it is a long standing joke in Scotland, particularly amongst football fans, that folk from Aberdeen are renowned "sheep shaggers". But you know what, it's a bit of banter, a silly stereotype, and everyone takes in in good spirit.

So that, is exactly how far you'd get.

You can't be serious, this must be a wind up, surely?

lol @ w-m.

W-M you gone & done it again ~ that's several keyboards you owe me!

How very dare you....snigger

Since when has this been a serious website. Am I missing summink.

Foulecamp- I'm English but have a sneaking admiration for the Welsh,particularly their uncanny gift for seducing even the most reluctant sheep.

Despite my wearing the requisite footwear and whispering sweet (English) nothings into the ears of even the most ******** sheep,my advances have,alas,been rejected.

I can only conjecture that the melodious Welsh tongue has an hypnotic effect on sheep (as indeed it does on the rest of us) thus persuading them to' take what's coming and think of Wales'

I trust that you are not guilty of 'sheepshaggerophobia'...what man and sheep do in the consensual privacy of their field has sod all to do with you.

Shame on ye!!!!

[bill barlow]

searchme..................I liked that!

As it keeps popping up, the definitions of race:
1. group of humans: any one of the groups into which the world�s population can be divided on the basis of physical characteristics such as skin or hair color
2. fact of belonging to a group: the fact of belonging to a group of humans who share the same physical features such as skin color
an attempt to end discrimination on grounds of race

3. humankind: humanity considered as a whole
the fate of the race

4. biology strain of organism: a breed, strain, or subspecies of an organism

Now we can stop playing games of semantics and actually answer the questions.

[bill barlow]

sarcaustic................I prefer to play games over such trivia. And I don't think there really was a question..........more of a warning/threat.

[Grunty]

And I thought I was drawing attention to the Welsh, who deal with these matters with their usual tolerance and good humour. Sadly there are many people in the world who do not have that ability.

[brachiopod]

oi !! searchme, I told you about "the requisite footwear" in confidence - speaking as a Welshman, we don't normally give out advice about being a hit with the ovines, you know!

"Bloody English, coming over here, making love to our sheep etc etc.... !!"

;o)

[rojash]

SarCaustic's definition prompted me to Google for more definitions. At Merriam webster I got carried awa (as you do) following stuff through the Thesaurus. The thing that amzed me was when I got to the difinition of "Master Race". Can you believe, that Google decided these were the most appropriate ads for that page?
