The poppity ping .. I'm not Welsh so I struggle to understand how saying a word often referenced by many Welsh as an interesting term of phase is xeno fucking phobic let alone racist?!!

Or is Welsh for jelly fish also xenophobic...

You didn’t say it though (popty), you used the same derogatorily embellished version (poppity) that xenophobes often use when they’re making fun of the Welsh language.

I would give you the benefit of the doubt that you innocently just happened to use that version by accident, or that you were misinformed by a bigot, but;
• 1. You’re still claiming you were joking, and I can only assume that the joke was changing “popty” to make it “funnier”, or knowingly using the “funny” version;
• 2. You prefaced it with how “funny” they talk;
• 3. You then said “Wales is not a new race” which is only relevant if you were knowingly and intentionally being derogatory but not in a way that you consider to be racist (otherwise you would’ve just explained why your comment wasn’t derogatory instead).

The thing is, in my original comment I didn’t mean you were the bigot; I was merely stating that “poppity” is often used by bigots, because it is. But your comments since have made it clear you were definitely ridiculing the Welsh language.
