Well done- your googling has found out exactly what I told you- i.e.
that national origin is one of the criterion. Now, I will direct you to
google the 1976 Race Relations Act (1976) Part 1, 3a.
Read that, and then, perhaps now, you'll understand why it was perfectly
feasible why someone could be brought up on such a charge. I reckon it's
rare that someone has been charged for calling a woman an "English
bitch" but it's perfectly possible under the legislation.
You said:
"you think calling somebody a "welsh bitch" is racial
discrimination!!!! Its a "nationalised " insulting behaviour, no more
or less. Discrimination is treating people differently because of
race. You should need to demonstrate that he would have acted
differently to an English person, say. I reckon the only difference in
his behaviour would have been to use a different insult."
That's simply not true under the Act.
