Talk:Anti-Scottish sentiment

message: Someone has misunderstood some of the articles related to the abuse of Scots by English people. The wiki page currently claims that some Scottish school girls needed police protection at a carnival in Cumbria. If you read the refferenced BBC news article then you will see that infact it was school girls who were giving the abuse (to some musicians), not recieving it, and noone needed "police protection" as suggested by the wiki article. The other examples are mostly quite weak aswell, which despite being protrayed in the wiki article as extreme behaviour actualy involve drunken teenagers, a young child with a bb gun who makes fun of people who are different (hardly an exceptional attitude for children the world over), and a football hooligan (a problem that vastly transcends supposed racism). Only the refferenced case of harrassment of a Scottish family living in England is genuinely disturbing.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.200.50.218 (talk) 11:27, 5 December 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: [untitled section]

message: The quote from William Camden, allegedly representing the Scots as blood-drinking cannibals, does not refer in fact to modern-era Scots, but to ancient Scots! This is quite another section of Camden's work, he clearly distinguished between modern and ancient history. He legitimately quoted what was known about ancient Scots from Graeco-Roman sources. The use of present tense is only due to clumsy citation.

thread_title: A Fraudulent Reference!

message: "Anti-Scottish sentiment is disdain, envy, fear or hatred for Scotland, the Scots or Scottish culture. It may be referred to as Scotophobia"  ABSURD sentence.  PHOBIA is fear.  "Anti-" whatever means you just don't like them.  Not liking something is not the same as being afraid of them, no matter what the object of the dislike would care to believe.24.67.72.62 (talk) 22:33, 5 June 2011 (UTC)

thread_title:  Scotophobe 

message: This is a very interesting article, but it seems not to recognise the existence of humour behind many of the expressions of anti-Scottish sentiment, however tasteless they seem from a Scottish point of view. Everyone knows Kelvin McKenzie likes a good wind-up and the Scots are very easily wound up! He was pressing all the wrong buttons for entertainment's sake. That's an English characteristic where the pleasure seems to come from watching the victim's fury mount.
I believe that the Marshall Wade verse was added to 'God Save The King' by the actor David Garrick and sung before a theatrical performance at Drury Lane while the Jacobites were advancing on London and expected imminently. As a Scot, I say "fair enough!" The people in the theatre must have been very afraid of the unknown and I don't think it reprehensible that they wanted to cling together and raise their morale by encouraging the defeat of their enemy in a rousing lyric, cf. 1940 'Blitz' mentality. The improvised verse was never given any official sanction, as some modern-day Scottish nationalists seem to imply whenever they mention it.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kim Traynor (talk • contribs) 21:04, 21 July 2011 (UTC)

message: I just removed the section "Pejorative terms", which consisted of the following single sentence: 
:Racist, or pejorative, anti-Scottish terms include "jock", "scotch", "porridge wog" and "sweaty" - the last of these being cockney rhyming slang.
I think this requires references (and perhaps some explanations) before it's included. Denbosch (talk) 09:32, 16 September 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Pejorative terms 

message: Most of the article, the "historic" sections deal with anti-Highlander sentiment specifically. Since the driving force of anti-Highlander sentiment were the "Scottish" Teutonic Lowlanders, this should be clarified more. It also spuriously presents the Jacobites as somehow supported by Lowlanders on a wide basis as some sort of nationalist movement. The biggest anti-Jacobites in the British Isles were the Scottish Lowland Presbytarians and their co-racialists/religionists in Ulster. Claíomh Solais (talk) 18:24, 5 November 2012 (UTC)
