      Plus the US has Trumped even the UK for stupid political decisions..
      According to NAT:

      UK law definition of racism and racial discrimination includes nationality and national origin.

        The definition was in response to it being argued that the offending comment wasn't racist, because it was against a specific nationality. It does not follow that any comment, even a negative one, that mentions a nationality (or race) is racist. E.g. you are a white Anglo-Saxon slapper. Funny though, if I were to write of someone "you are a black Caribbean slapper", then some would construe that as racist.
        Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!

                Pops out every hour and makes the birds chirp? I've seen worse insults in the professional forums.

                  Does that mean we can't insult the French here anymore?

                    Go to the Darknet version of CUK. Only anything that is not offensive, racist, obscene etc. etc. is banned. Much more fun.
