I'm sad to say that I don't think that has anything to do with being careless about differences between different groups of people. That, I'm afraid, is pure and simple racism, which is, I'm sorry to say, widespread throughout these islands.

Tell us something.: Been a fluter, citternist, and uilleann piper; committed now to the way of the harp.
