A few hours ago i posted a question about " The Welsh" ... it was just a question but now im called a Racist ..! Why? ..is it a easy " Get out" to lable what you dont like and put it in a Box.?
I did'nt say anything nasty to put down the welsh , ( the old "Sheep shagger joke etc") others have done that.
The Word "Racist" i think is just a good way to make others look bad.

I didnt see ur other question, so i am only guessing. People throw the word racists around a lot these days. It is meant to attack others, not to defend oneself. Bigot, racists, homophobe are all terms used mostly by liberals to go on the attack.
Now I am not saying racism doesnt exist. The world is full of racist people, and often the statement is true. But the way it is used nowadays is not right.
I can give you examples of true racism, and I can give you examples of politically correctness that calls others racist to silence them. I don't know which you are, but I understand your question.

Because youre an ill informed idiot - just like a racist person.
Why start a rant about people from one country?
Yes you did say things to put US Welsh down, by asking what is the point of us. We could ask the same about you. It's good to see that you have kindly left yourself open to abuse by letting us contact you direct.
We only slag off the english where as the english slag off everyone because they think they are superior. england may be bigger than Wales, but that doesn't make it better at all.
We have gorgeous accents, our country is one to be proud of, we play a real game with the right shape ball, we believe in unity, most people love us, at least St David was Welsh - can you say the same about yours? Doubt it.
Wind your neck back in and get a life.

My guess is because you chose to ask a question about a specific race of people, which generally implies you think all people with that racial background are the same. Which of course is not only ridiculous ,but a racist way of thinking. It's like asking why are all white people racist ? ... They're not. And people who don't fit in to said stereotype are offended by the implication they do . People who think in stereotypical terms are not only stupid, but tend to share racist attitudes. So if you believe stereotypes you may be mistaken as a racist ,when in fact , you could just be stupid.

people will always throw the racist card at you for making a remark - did you know that the welsh are narrow minded and ignorant about the english ( I live in north wales I should know), if you dont speak the language they hate you and if you learn it they still hate you - you cant win). Heres a joke for you- What do you call a welshnman with a stick up his arsehole. A- a taffy apple. If you cant laugh at yourself or language its pathetic-isnt it!

Its not nice to say things like sheep.... about anybody, let alone Welsh.
I believe though we are living in too much of a PC world though. No freedom of speech.

everyone is called racist if you are not left wing or socialist
what happened to freedome of speech and not to judge other
if you think you are right and you believe it then don't let others tell you otherwise. to many socialist in the world anyway tryimg to tell you what you should and shouldn't do and think. do your own thing.even if people don't like it tough.

it puts you on the back foot without any effort if you let them. far easier to call you racist than come up with a well constructed argument.
Next time someone calls you a racist try "it's no good you trying to soft soap me."
