I always thought Doraville was mostly Mexican, as that's where a good number of Mexican dances take place at the Far West Rodeo.This is what America is about. Being offended. I blame the universities, where kids are indoctrinated by anti-western professors, in fringe courses that do nothing to prepare them for the real world. |

Because the Brits never identify themselves as such.Well, there is the aspect that British identity was invented in the 18th Century out of convenience. But Pakistan was also invented -- this time as an acronym in 1947, so I dare say that they're still Punjabis, Afghans, Kashmiris, Sindhis, and Balochistanis. Now if they invented a slur term derived from the leek, you might become mildly annoyed. They already invented the one about sheep. Which can actually be amusing when it's used in a creative manner (i.e. not the "lamp-post in Swansea" joke* or the alternative words to the last line of Cwm Rhondda**). * For the benefit of those who haven't heard it: Q: What do you call a sheep tied to a lamp-post in Swansea? A: A leisure centre. ** You know, the "What's it like to shag a sheep?" so beloved of soccer fans from Bristol. Of course, this resulted in Cardiff City F.C. marketing inflatablesheep... |

Actually, I'm not enamoured of that term,Yes, but you don't react to it the way Japanese and Pakistani people do. though I use it here out of courtesy to the Yanks (8-) Just let's not mention the Cockney Rhyming Slang there... I regard myself as English, though I'm probably part Anglo-saxon and part Celt (Cornish). I think I've got the full set somewhere in my ancestry -- Welsh, English, Cornish, Scottish, Irish, and rumors that I haven't been able to quite nail down of some Spaniards in the 16th or 17th Century (as they're allegedly on the Cornish side, and the records there are pretty awful). I tend to tick the Welsh box out of it all just making it much simpler than convoluted explanations. I think that 'Britain' is a somewhat artificial construct. It's occasionally said that the only people who call themselves 'British' are people who aren't..... It's certainly a word that's fallen into the hands of scoundrels... |
