Of course we are a race.

Bollox.

Nice contribution.



It is bollocks though isn't it ? How the f**k can Welsh be a race ?
Shirley Bassey isn't the same race as Gareth Edwards but they're both Welsh.
And Welsh people aren't any more or less likely to be of a Celtic origin than English people.

Exactly. This is all about looking for something to take offence to.

Now, before you answer I am 100% not saying I'm offended by sheepshagger, I call others sheepshaggers too, even at Cardiff games we sing "sheepshagging bastards we know what we are" etc. I'm well aware it's all in good fun etc.

But if you weren't Welsh and you call a Welsh person a sheep shagger, surely it's racist? Just logically it is? that's my opinion anyway.

That's all I'm asking. Is it racist, if it is - why, and if it isn't - why?

I would say yes, if you received an email from your English Boss, saying get this work done by five you sheepshagger............
you could take it to HR and complain and they would have to act if you said that was racist against you because you are Welsh?

They wouldn't say no that's fine because you're not a race?

Thats stupid as f**k of course they wouldnt say its ok, its still a form of bigotry but its not racist because welsh isnt a race



Yes it is!

So are the Scottish and to call them Sweaties would be racist!

Quite right Jock. I think some people just search for something that could be interpreted as racist even when it is obviously nothing of the sort. Almost seems like a hobby to a small minority of people.

For clarity the Equality Act 2010 defines race as:

Race
(1)Race includes—
(a)colour;
(b)nationality;
(c)ethnic or national origins.
(2)In relation to the protected characteristic of race—
(a)a reference to a person who has a particular protected characteristic is a reference to a person of a particular racial group;
(b)a reference to persons who share a protected characteristic is a reference to persons of the same racial group.
(3)A racial group is a group of persons defined by reference to race; and a reference to a person's racial group is a reference to a racial group into which the person falls.
(4)The fact that a racial group comprises two or more distinct racial groups does not prevent it from constituting a particular racial group.

Anyone who is treated less favourably because of race can potentially claim race discrimination. I am not personally offended by the term but work in employment law so am aware of what to say or not say in the workplace to avoid any issues. Interestingly racial harassment (or harassment based on other protected characteristics such as gender, age, disability etc) is only a problem if unwanted as illustrated by a recent appeal case where someone was called a fat ginger pikey - https://www.dentons.com/en/insights/new ... harassment . To be harassment it has to be unwanted. Be warned however that someone else could be offended and complaints can be made because of race and not necessarily their own

Don't shoot the messenger. I don't create the law we just have to work with it!!

Loads of stuff on the internet about this eg. :-The traditional definition of race and ethnicity is related to biological and sociological factors respectively. Race refers to a person's physical characteristics, such as bone structure and skin, hair, or eye color. Ethnicity, however, refers to cultural factors, including nationality, regional culture, ancestry, and language.

An example of race is brown, white, or black skin (all from various parts of the world), while an example of ethnicity is German or Spanish ancestry (regardless of race) or Han Chinese. Your race is determined by how you look while your ethnicity is determined based on the social and cultural groups you belong to. You can have more than one ethnicities but you are said to have one race, even if it's "mixed race".

On whose say so yours? I identify myself as Welsh and when I had a DNA test I had 75% Celtic genes. As far as I'm concerned I am a Celt and that is my race proven by genetic testing.

But if someone was say assaulted or discriminated against because of their ethnicity the perpetrator would almost certainly have committed racially aggravated crimes. Surely it is a grey area or even one and the same race/ethnicity?

If someone wants to call me a sheepshagger they are quite welcome. I am from an era where a sense of humour was permitted, and when we could laugh at ourselves as well as others. I have called myself much worse than that. We certainly never made it our life's ambition to try and find something that could be considered insulting or racist every time someone opened their mouth.

Also, the following is taken from the ACAS website:

Race
The Equality Act protects employees from discrimination, harassment and
victimisation because of the protected characteristic of Race, which may
include different elements that often merge:
 race – an umbrella term for the other four aspects.
 colour – like ‘race’ it tends to overlap, particularly with the concepts of
‘ethnic origin’ and ‘national origin’. Examples include black and white.
 ethnic origin – may include racial, religious and cultural factors which
give a group of people a distinct social identity with a long and shared
history. Examples include Sikhs, Jews, Romany Gypsies and Irish
Travellers.
 national origin –birthplace, the geographical area and its history can
be key factors. Examples include Welsh and English.
 nationality – usually the recognised state of which the employee is a
citizen. In other words, what it says in their passport if they have one.


I think that pretty much proves it conclusively, that in the eyes of the law IT IS racism. So for those who say that the Welsh are not a race, the law seems to say that we are. Welsh and proud. :thumbup:

(4)The fact that a racial group comprises two or more distinct racial groups does not prevent it from constituting a particular racial group.

Anyone who is treated less favourably because of race can potentially claim race discrimination. I am not personally offended by the term but work in employment law so am aware of what to say or not say in the workplace to avoid any issues. Interestingly racial harassment (or harassment based on other protected characteristics such as gender, age, disability etc) is only a problem if unwanted as illustrated by a recent appeal case where someone was called a fat ginger pikey - https://www.dentons.com/en/insights/new ... harassment . To be harassment it has to be unwanted. Be warned however that someone else could be offended and complaints can be made because of race and not necessarily their own

Don't shoot the messenger. I don't create the law we just have to work with it!!


Also, the following is taken from the ACAS website:

Race
The Equality Act protects employees from discrimination, harassment and
victimisation because of the protected characteristic of Race, which may
include different elements that often merge:
 race – an umbrella term for the other four aspects.
 colour – like ‘race’ it tends to overlap, particularly with the concepts of
‘ethnic origin’ and ‘national origin’. Examples include black and white.
 ethnic origin – may include racial, religious and cultural factors which
give a group of people a distinct social identity with a long and shared
history. Examples include Sikhs, Jews, Romany Gypsies and Irish
Travellers.
 national origin –birthplace, the geographical area and its history can
be key factors. Examples include Welsh and English.
 nationality – usually the recognised state of which the employee is a
citizen. In other words, what it says in their passport if they have one.


I think that pretty much proves it conclusively, that in the eyes of the law IT IS racism. So for those who say that the Welsh are not a race, the law seems to say that we are. Welsh and proud. :thumbup:

So you have a Welsh Passport?

Irrelevant. Don't need a passport to be Welsh...and proud.
You obviously have strong views on this based on something. Whereas Bedwas Bluebird, who works with employment law, has cited current legislation and I found something on the ACAS website that actually gives English and Welsh as an example. If that's not good enough for you then it's pointless me trying to convince you any further. Don't take it personally...we are all City fans after all :thumbup:
