There is no such thing as an Irish or English or Scottish "race".

Just in the same way as there is no Black race in America or no Arab race in Palestine? I think you may know exactly what I mean and are just playing with words but just in case, I suggest you tell the next Scotsman, Irishman or Welshman you meet that they are all the same as the English!

What delicate, thin-skinned little flowers some of you appear to be.

Why do you say that and to whom are you referring? It is not a question of who takes offence it is a question of where do you draw the line. I'll rephrase my question, for the third time, which one of the following statements is likely to cause offence -

The Irish are bad singers
Black people are bad singers
Jews are bad singers
The English are bad singers

Surely it must be all of them or none. Which do you believe it is?

Cheers
