''English'' is a race? are you all drunk tonight?
I thought ''english'' was a noun to describe nationality..........
Race: A group of people united or classified together on the basis of common history, nationality, or geographic distribution: the German race.
But english isn't your first language, so we'll let u off. 😉
Also, another detail. Northern Irish isn't English. Its just they stole a part of our country in their wicked imperialistic ways. It would be kind of like saying Ozzies or Indians are English to call Northern Irish people English. Some Northern Irish prefer to be called British, while others prefer to be called Irish. It's all a bit messy really.

It's pretty weird but ok,you're right.
I just wanted to be clear that it wasn't meant as a racist statement,and it's pretty obvious ,but Dangermouse misunderstood it.
What if I say that I'm an italian moron?
Does it means that I'm racist toward all italians?
Does it means that I was referring to all italians or to one single individual?
The answer is yours..........
EDIT:ok,I didn't see chris stephens' post,first part was an answer to Ragnorak
Tell me you genius,what flag is displayed in richard stephenson's profile?
Seeing that flag I thought that he's english,you know, english guys tend to put english flag,italian guys tend to put the italian flag etc.etc
It's obvious that not all the people who lives in England is english.
Where the hell did I said that?

it would depend in which nation/region of italy youre from!
Italy is an unique nation formed by 21 regioni which are not indipendent nor have their own flag,nor their own laws and depend from Rome (the capital).
Veneto (my region) has not his own soccer national team like North Ireland or Scotland,just to make an example.
And your statementof ''it would depend in which nation of italy'' is just ridiculous.
Like saying ''it depends in which nation of France are you from''.........what does it means? and you call me an ignorant?pleeease....

Originally posted by trekkieAmmmm, I don't think Wales is represented in the Union Jack. It covers England, NI, Scotland, and Wales, but afaik, Wales is the only of the four national flags that doesn't contribute to the UJ.

Ravello, the english flag is a white background with a red cross. Its called the flag of St George. If you ever see an english soccer match, its the flag that's everywhere. The hats are burberry btw. 😉
