What about racism to other people? You can't help hatred between countries, it will always exist.
And someone can be on this site if they don't like the English. Its an international site.
I agree with you, I hate seeing hatred questions, but they still have a right to be here.
I don't hate the English, can't say I particulary love them being honest. But then again I'm Scottish ;-) haha I even have a English boyfriend (though I do love them). Don't like them all obviously, but thats a different story.

Don't get me wrong, I'm at least half English, and I have no emnity towards them. However, past generations of Englishmen have done many injustices the world over.
The Scottish clearances are one example of the disdain that English politicians have shown for people of other nations. The Scottish were forcibly removed from their own ancestral lands and to this day have not been adequately compensated. Many Scots look forward to an end to British government in Scotland. My guess is, when people stop feeling dominated and controlled by the English government, and are allowed to take posession of their cultural heritages, the anger will decrease and be forgotten.
I love the English, but like the rest of humanity, they have their faults (especially in terms of socio-political history).
There will always be (racist) people willing to direct anger towards a whole race of people for the actions of the government. Think of the current anti-US sentiments. The US government instigated the injustices (and deceived the public) but the US citizens also become the brunt for anti-US sentiment.
Racism is wrong in every case.

The europeans in general and the English in particular, have been knowledgeable people over the centuries. And it is always difficult to match their expertise in various fields. The people particularly from the developing world feel the wrong complex, and can not digest the fact that per capita wise their IQ supercedes.
Instead of envying, they should appreciate them and work diligently to be at par with them. Its bad to feel negative on others.

Hi. Happy Sabbath. To be English is not a racial issue. Take care.

Hatred towards anyone for their race/colour/creed is unnacceptable. I think most people ask these questions just to get a rise, don't give them the satisfaction

Because people of other races can be racist to white people and get away with it but if we say anything against racism agaist us we are considered racist!
