   The idea was funny, but actually it's a bit nasty.

    So, racism is OK and "quite funny" when it's anti-English? Had I described all Scots in the same way, imagine the outcry.

    Where's the resident EnglishScot when you need him, eh?

    50% of the people i know are anyway...........

    I wouldn't worry too much, it'll probably be returning this thread shortly.

    I thought the "joke" failed by being nasty, which then put it in the realms of racism. To have been a good joke, the other side should be amused too IMO.

    Works the other way - I've heard the Scots described as being such bad neighbours the Romans built 2 walls to keep them out. As a Scot, I think that's funny.

    People who live in plastic houses...

    Made me smile. How is that question returning that anyway? (genuine q for the ITists)

    It seems to be doing it based on words in the article. Wikipedia seems to have a 'weight' within Google's results; it's often the first or second result on a search.

    I suppose I qualify given that my mum was English and my dad is Scottish.

    It's not the funniest prank dreamt up by a Ned with a nicked laptop but Im not going to shed any tears over the mildly racist slur. There are idiots both sides of the border after all (I'm related to some of them).

    Lighten up, I'm English and I found it funny! People take their race far to seriously! Besides are you not Welsh flashy or is that just for the rugby

    Isn't it racist to assume that the Scots would find this funny?

    you can not be racist to a clan can you?

    You can't be racist to a nation either.

    Let's get this straight - we've no idea if this was intentional or an accidental result.

    Assuming it was intentional, we've no idea of the nationality/race of who did it.

    Why are the Scots being dragged into this?
