    Nothing screams ethnic minority more than middle aged white men

      I mean technically its Middle to old age “Wealthy” white people(women fox hunt as well).

      That word “Wealthy” sure as hell puts them in a minority. And the cousin fuckers are so inbred, it’s hard to argue they are not ethnically unique from other poor white folk.

    They are highly inbred, so they may well have diverged sufficiently far from the rest of humanity to be classified as a separate species.

    Speaking to the FieldsportsChannel podcast, Swales said: “The qualifications of an ethnic group, there are five of them, and we hit everyone straight in the bullseye.”

    I’m looking forward to hearing this unpacked in court. Either the law is an ass, or it will be incredibly funny.

      If you’re looking to define a new ‘visible minority that suffers online abuse and real-life violence based upon hatred of an out-group’, I’d suggest that cyclists would have a better claim!

        Yep, I have been assaulted many times in many ways for being a cyclist.

    Well sound reasonable. Once they gain ethnic minority status. The next Tory gov can ship them to Rwanda?

      They’ll definitely try and have “gammon” classified as an ethnic slur.

    Oh, they genuinely don’t know what ethnicity means. That might explain some history.
