I'm not directly conected with english speaking countries so that example always evades me but you're right.
The scottish also had it bad with the english as well. And some time back I read a news report on how a man had been insulted in a train for not speaking english, in London. He was speaking welsh...
Racism picks on any small thing to rise divergence, usually something the target of it can't change. But anything works.
I wasn’t saying you were wrong, I was just wondering if I was. True about the Scot’s, and the Welsh too….and the Cornish. Basically any form of Celt.
We're just exchanging ideas here and you brought up a very good point.
But it made think that by contrast, in Africa, several ethnic groups coexist and language was not that big of a concern for conflict.
