Racial slur calling welsh woman English
"A man has been convicted of racially aggravated harassment after calling a Welsh woman English.
Michael Forsythe was sentenced to 10 weeks in jail, suspended for 12 months, after being found guilty of racially aggravated disorderly behaviour, a court official said."
Amazing, you´d have thought it would have been a compliment:

Well, Wales is a separate part of England. so I would understand it, but also the punishment really doesn't fit the crime.

And it really wasn't racism; they're both White.

You should.
Though, I don't understand why it's racism. I see it as harrasment.

WTF is the world coming to. No one should EVER go to jail or pay a fine just because they call someone something. They're just words

Calling anyone English is a huge insult.
I pity the woman.
But honestly Wales is an OK country. The country that isn't a bunch of assholes and are next to it.
