    Admin just corrected the OP on nationality using their own phrase, hardly race hate crime of the century if you ask me.

    I just assumed he was correcting the OP and not passing comment on the woman's intelligence himself.

    Err are the Scots actually a 'race'? An arbitrary political geographical border between two countries surely does not define a 'race' merely a nationality. Calling someone "thick" is derogatory but adding "Scot" is merely an additional descriptive word i.e. an adjective. I doubt it could be regarded as making it a 'racist comment' so I suspect the HR dept, if they had treated it as such would have been completely out of order.

    Is calling someone a thick Irish woman any more racist than calling a person a thick woman from Dublin? She was thick and she was Irish which are two adjectives that described her. Is a beautiful Irish woman also racist? World's gone bloody mad.

    If you don’t see it, then we do have problems.

    Granted it was correcting the OP, but still refering to the ‘Thick women’ by her nationality.

    Personally I think the worlds gone mad, but as I said earlier, our lass got a verbal warning at work when she referred to a persons nationality (Scottish), in the same sentence as a derogatory comment (on a private WhatsApp group).

    @Tek A racial group can be defined by Nationality including Citizenship

    Nope! Not seeing the connection in the attached document.
    Race and Nationality are two distinct separate things.

    Nationality (noun) is the relationship between a person and the political state to which he belongs or is affiliated. Ethnicity (noun) is the identification of a person with a particular racial, cultural, or religious group. ... "My nationality is Italian, but my ethnicity is Caucasian."

    This thread is ridiculous. Is there anything else to discuss today?
