> Many labourers (both skilled and unskilled) see it as a slight for someone who is brought up here and have lived here their entire life to display a flag other than the Union Flag of the St. Georges Cross. I've seen a lot of guys in working man's pubs get quite angry and this sort of resentment is always hand waived away as "racism" when that isn't the problem at all.

No that's absolutely racism.

> The British reputation in Spain is complete dirt because of the disrespectful party goers and expats. It is due to them not assimilating or even bothering to respect the local culture and language.

This is also their racism.

A special place is reserved for those people who post comments on the Daily Mail complaining about how many immigrants there in England are when they're a British immigrant to Spain.




I never mentioned the race of the labourers. Many weren't white btw. But from your comments you are assuming they are. That btw is racism.

> No that's absolutely racism.

Why? Care to explain? I never mentioned the race many weren't white btw that were making a similar complaint.

> This is also their racism.

So Spanish people who are basically white are being racist against other white people? Is that what you mean? That isn't racism.

Or British (not all British people are white) are people being racist against Spanish people? Or are you using Hitler's definition of what "white" is which means Northern European.

Either way this is non-sensical.

What are you on about? Nobody said anything about that. I said there are people in Spain that are English that don't assimilate with the local population which is Spanish.
