Quoted from mimma
Many years ago I did an ACAS course on diversity and inclusion that covered such things as racism.in the workplace, I asked about calling Scottish people "Jock". Apparently that is racist as it refers to a persons race. I then asked about calling someone "yorkie". That is not racist since it doesn't refer to a persons race, just the region where they where born.

There was a case they were mediating, where a Muslin was asked to work with a gay man. The Muslim refused because it was against his religious views,as homosexuality was a sin, and the gay man then complained he was being victimised because of his sexual orientation..

So, I get called fat little bad headed old twit, and that's alright, I shouldn't be offended, but I cannot call Jock by that name anymore.

You couldn't make it up.


Given your description of yourself I would imagine 'political correctness' would be the least of your worries.

And they are the more polite things I get called!!

Scotland is a country so calling a Scot jock is classed as a derogatory term for someone who is Scottish.

It's an absolute minefield and his open to abuse. If a yank calls me limey I'm sueing the @rse of him!

But would they be classed as a race if the gained independance ? Where does the definition of race begin and end ? Are you allowed to called people from a close European country "an amphibian " (got to be careful how I word this or I will be accused of racism ). My father always called people from a Teutonic type country " pickled cabbage " -is that racist. How about Australians calling us " poms "?. The whole thing is getting out of hand and very silly.

Yeah fair point. What gets me is my best mate has always been known as fat ginger smithy which tbh he is but all his life he has had that labeled at him but has he complained, no not once just laughs it off and that's 3 discriminatory words labeled at him. Do people really get offended by a word???


Yes. If someone called you a c.unt would you be happy? Would someone calling you an English c.unt be water off a ducks back to you?


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
