My own personal Welshwank...†

[tree_and_leaf]

I was wandering across college today, when I overheard the following snippet of conversation.

Undergraduate: I just don't get the whole 'we're Welsh not British' thing. It's just so backward... I mean, dude, we conquered you about eight hundred years ago or something, just accept it.

Well done, young man, I think you've illustrated the problem right there.

See here for details, but the row in question centered on whether or not Torchwood is, in the immortal words of Greg Dyke, hideously white, and if the Welsh count as an oppressed minority.

Oh my goodness! I <3 reading about what students in your college say. I can't believe that comment. It's almost as ignorant as what some Americans say about Canada. Okay, maybe not quite as ignorant as an American thinking that Canada is actually part of the States, but still, pretty bad!!
