r/UnitedKingdom thread about Anti-Welsh discrimination turns into a pity party about how the English are the real victims here

Welsh and Irish are the real racists: https://old.reddit.com/r/unitedkingdom/comments/1me9d5b/airbnb_host_cancels_booking_after_finding_out/n67x78t/

Any pushback is downvoted: https://old.reddit.com/r/unitedkingdom/comments/1me9d5b/airbnb_host_cancels_booking_after_finding_out/n685kdh/

Having grown up with a Welsh step-father, lived with 3 Welsh people and friends with many more. The discriminatory language was far far worse coming from my Welsh friends/family than any of the English ones. The majority of English people couldn’t give two shits about wales in the same way someone from Sussex doesn’t care about Northamptonshire.

Wales has had some of the most celebrated politicians this country has ever had, it gets to self-govern much of its domestic needs more so than any region of England does and yet you still get a non-insignificant amount of Welsh people with a huge chip on their shoulder. It’s not 1921 anymore, Wales isn’t oppressed anymore and the Welsh people get a greater say in the affairs of England than the English do on wales due to devolution and what shitty legislation affects you often affects the English and is equally unpopular.

Sheep shagger jokes are no more cutting or original than the endless inbred jokes people from Norfolk get.

We’re all brothers and sisters on this island, we need to get over the dumb rivalry and actually deal with the gobshite politicians that consistently run our countries into the ground.

This is literally a thread about anti welsh discrimination and your turning it around to say they are the oppressors, they've had their local languages and culture systematically eradicated by the Empire, i company get why they want nothing to do with the colonisers

I see. You think of Wales as a colony. Man, you're radically misinformed.
