People being antisemitic but saying they're just antiIsrael.
Can I just ask a silly question because I honestly do not know, not having ever been there before...why does everyone make fun of the Welsh? Please don't hate me for asking...

Right. Well that's OK, I'm hate being half-Jewish and hate the hypocrisy of Israeli policy, so I'm both.

I think making fun of the Welsh isn't particularly funny. People normaly go on about there being loads of sheep there, or them being inbreds, and it's pretty boring. However, I have a friend who is Welsh and constantly bangs on about Welsh rights and about how he is a major victim of racism (when this is no way true) and likes to speak Welsh as a sign of his patriotism, and so I feel this is a characteristic of the Welsh that should be made fun of.

Because of the Slagg Brothers.

I'm the reverse of your friend. I'm a victim of discrimination within my own principality. Because I refuse to speak a dead loss language that serves no real cultural or other relevant role to me (or my principalitarians) in a rapidly globalising world, I can't apply for a surprising percentage of jobs.
I speak English as a sign of my patriotism to Wales and the UK.

Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaate you 
Actually I've not noticed a great increase in Welsh jokes. Perhaps that's because I live in Wales mind look you.
And Slagg if you think you've got it bad I have to try and teach Welsh to kids who can barely write English. And we are not talking overseas visitors here.

One of the major things he bangs on about is that Wales isn't part of the UK.

Then he's stupid. (And geographically and politically challenged)
The gingers are another group it's okay to take the piss out of. And don't get me started on blonde jokes...
One of my friends at College had the problem of not only being the only black face in her year, but having the STRONGEST Scottish accent you have ever heard in your life. Not an easy life for her.
Racism is quite bad down here because there are not that many non-white and non-English people (apart from recently because of a lot of Polish people moving down here) unless you live in one of the cities (although some of the seaside towns will have very VERY small communities). Because of this, people are less open minded when it comes to race and a lot of the time, don't hide it well and the humour around the subject is very warped by some (I remember the horror I felt many years ago being shown some really disturbing "cartoons" by someone at work and everyone else laughing away). It can be very shocking to people not used to it. It's very disgusting but it's mainly from an older generation who were raised in a society where that was considered acceptable by most so hopefully as another generation comes in, it won't be this bad.

I'm a dark blonde naturally but I dye red. Out of the frying pan into the red fire!

I think there needs to be a chart for the accurate colour of a woman's hair, so far I've discovered -
Dark Blonde - Ginge
Auburn - Ginge
Flame haired - Ginge
Strawberry blonde - Ginge
Chestnut - Brown
Fair Haired - Brown
Hazel - Brown
Platinum Blonde - Bone White
Mousey - Brown
I'm sure there are hundreds of other descriptions, but I can't remember them all.
