This goes to my theory that if you dig deep enough into any problem in the world, there's an English twat at the bottom of it.
Yeah it's terrible when people make over-broad and prejudiced generalisations, eh?
Nah, not really. I would encourage the university to make some generalizations about class background and nationality and become more prejudiced against the wealthy and the English and create a mandate to serve more of their underprivileged countrymen and women.
Quite a telling sentence. It's not just the wealthy, it's the English themselves, regardless of wealth.
Not the other UK nations, not non-Scottish students generally - no, it's specifically the English you hate. Slow hand clap...
I'm simply responding to the article and the OP. I've already noted I'm largely ignorant on the topic/school. The article notes the discrimination is largely against the Scottish and the working-class -- two separate categories they can but needn't overlap -- and OP's comment mentioned it's largely a problem of the English at Edinburgh.
My second comment was actually intended as a light-hearted joke in the vein of "always blame the English!" but I can see it really offended your sensibilities. Here's hoping you recover soon!
