The Welsh are not a race. Mostly they are white uk, as per on official forms. And Wales is not a country, it is a Principality, a bit like Monaco, but that is where the comparison ends Wales is a country within the United Kingdom. this is a terrible terrible thread.

There are many different ways of defining what does or does not constitute a country, but membership of the UN is a good place to start. Wales is not a member in its own right.

A Rovers player posted a photo on social media of himself blacked up. No outrage though, because it's not as bad as watching City apparently. Who?

Countries aren't really relevant. You have nation states, nations or states. Ie, Yugoslavia was a state but never a nation, Palestinians are a nation but not a state. Nations are groups that people have decided they belong to, and states have control of violence, ie an army/police force. As for blacking up, I really don't get this, if people don't think skin colour is an issue then why would they care about make up to try to look a different colour, so what, its just this f****** PC b*******.

And neither is England or Scotland we are all listed as one big state, UNITED KINGDOM OF GREAT BRITAIN AND NORTHERN IRELAND. 3 countries, Wales, England and Scotland and a province of Northern Ireland.

Anyway, this thread could run and run but as someone has already decided to bring up refugees, I'm out.

I saw on the national news yesterday that the organisers of the refugee smugglers were offering a discount to anyone wishing to travel from Turkey to Greece by boat, in the presently choppy waters.

Some subjects I find interesting or simply enjoy talking about on football forums, and other subjects I don't.
