I would be interested to know what his dislike of the Welsh is and why?
Who cares what British law states. Law is written by lawyers and the UK is so stuffed up with it's incorrect politically correct laws it's not funny.

Now if evolutionary/genetic scientists stated that it would be a different matter but they don't.

Many would class it as racist too.
In a free society we should all be free to dislike and hate people we don't like equally.

Tricky one, from what I remember. Soemthing along the lines of "I spilt red wine and was trying to get it out of the carpet" works if I remember rightly.......
