Lol how is Scot racist, i live in scotland everyone here is fine with "scot" wierd child... i aint going to bother with it still got £25 on itunes

Yes, all those terms are racist. However because people are so narrow minded, if the general population of a country is white, then you can call them whatever you want. However if they are black then it's "You're different from us, so we'll protect you". Kinda thing. So if people call me a Scot, then I should be allowed to call someone from Pakistan the P word.

The P word for Pakistani is considered worldwide to be an offensive term
and is used in a derogatory fashion. The word Scot, Brit, Aussie etc are just shortened words for the place they live and are not considered worldwide to be derogatory. Thats my understanding, anyway.

I suggest you google both words and see what comes up.

Don't be racist, we're "Scottish" not "Scots" just like someone from Pakistan is a "Pakistani" not a "****".

They are part of the human race.

Scottish is a Nationality? White, Black, Asian would be more race?

Technically, they could be defined as subspecies, but not a different race i don't think?

Edit: Some definitions - subspecies: (biology) a taxonomic group that is a division of a species; usually arises as a consequence of geographical isolation within a species

Well on the terms of race, people in Scotland could be any race? People from Scotland as a group would be called Scottish. Just like a group of people from Britain are British, people from Ireland are Irish etc.
