So, what criteria must hold for "banter" to be classed as racism towards an Englishman in Scotland?
1 comments

The usual criteria for comment to be deemed racism is that it causes offence (whether intended or not) and had a racial component.
So, the only difference between the anti-English banter I experience and racism is that I don't get offended?

You had better hope I don't start being offended, then! :)

And, yes, this argument also applies to Scots living in England, or any other similar situation.
