Oh jeez, get over yourself, seriously. Find a book to read or something. No one took the piss or was abusive but if you have such a huge chip on your shoulder to believe there was then that's your problem not mine. I seriously couldn't care less.

I must admit the following post sounded a little border line.

I'm glad you do not have a problem with it. Your blood must have been diluted with English/German blood.

Are you trying to get yourself banned before the end of March? ;) :D

Why is that borderline? In studies,many English and Frisians have almost identical genetic make up but the Welsh were very different.

Researchers concluded the most likely explanation for this was a large-scale Anglo-Saxon invasion, which devastated the Celtic population of England, but did not reach Wales.

You have to realise as well that the Celts aren't indigenous to Wales, Ireland or Scotland. IN FACT, there are no indigenous people in those countries as they are all migrants.

Indigenous peoples are any ethnic group who inhabit a geographic region with which they have the earliest known historical connection. There may have been earlier settlers but were not identified as an ethnic group.

Yes, and the Celts are known to have migrated to countries such as Wales, Ireland and Scotland and consequently are not indigenous.

Your belief that the Welsh are a race on their own is fundamentally wrong. They are a nation of Caucasian people.
No matter how pedantic you want to be, no matter how much you beat your racist drum your wrong. Racism is the belief that some races are inherently superior (physically, intellectually, or culturally) to others and therefore have a right to dominate them.
Stating your husband has a dislike for the Welsh is therefore not racist. Nationalistic yes, racist NO NO NO

PS It must be true I capitalised & repeated myself three times:p

I understand that. I do not like some other nationalities but do not openly say it on a public forum.

Here's what was posted if you haven't read it.

The Husband is not a fan of the Welsh (north lot mainly but he's not overly fussy with his dislike) and swore on his MiLs life that he would never live in a place that had Wales in the name. Bigoted? Yeah possibly but he's lovely really.
