Is it OK to say this?


Is it 'racist', or a ‘hate crime’ to say that

·  .       Racial or national characteristics exist?

·    .     The Jews are the Chosen People of God?

·    .     Arabs, Jews, Slavs, Chinese, and Japanese are clever?

·     .    Slavs can hold their liquor better than most other people?

·     .    Scots are more articulate than the English?

·  .       Scots are mean?

·  .      Polish Highlanders are mean?

·  .      The Welsh sing better (or used to) than the English?

·  .       Celtic music is mostly much better than English?

·  .       French, Spanish, Italian, Greek, and Lithuanian food are all better than English?

·  .       The English cannot cook?

·  .       Mohawk or Iroquois Native Americans have a better head for heights than Anglo Saxon   Americans, as witness their building of skyscrapers?

·  .       Black American Jazz and Blues players and singers in the 20th century had genius far beyond their white counterparts?

·  .        Devonians tend to be fat (Devonshire dumplings)?

·  .        Timeo Danaos et dona ferentes?

·  .        Red haired people, of whom I was one, have short tempers?

·  .        And so on, ad nauseum..

I just asked.

I have (or had) red hair also and it's not just ****** right to accuse us of being short tempered!
God bless, Chris.

Richard - my beloved mother was a red-head, and I share or even exceed her capacity for anger.

God bless!
