"Maybe hatred of others is inbred" that would be inbred English hatred, why of course
So boringly predictable the undisguised veiled anti English sentiments, imagine how YOU would react if anyone were to infer there could possibly be an inbred Scottish hatred!
There does seem to be generational hatred of the English passed down in some Scots families, alongside sectarian hatred of other Scots.
My grandfather told me some terrible tales of Orange marches in his home city of Glasgow, of bricks being thrown and whole streets being involved in riots. He remembers hiding under a table with his siblings and his mother during one particularly memorable march which had escalated to a free for all.
It was a shock to me, as an English child, that he could tell Catholics and Protestants apart simply from their names and where they lived (he claimed to be able to spot the difference by looking at someone, but I remain unconvinced on that score), as that was not something that applied in my world. Nor did 'no Blacks, no Irish or dogs' to be fair, but that may have been a generational thing - I never saw rooms advertised as being to rent at all.
Anyway, I don't think that bigotry is confined to England in the UK - it's pretty clear to me that none of the home nations can claim righteousness on that score.
I grew up catholic and went to a catholic school where many of my fellow pupils either had two Irish parents or like me had some Irish via a grandparent. Of course it's very hard to understand that prejudicial mindset living down south, even back then one's religion didn't really matter, I had friends outside of school who weren't catholic.
One friend, born in Ireland but came to England aged 5 whose accent is now very southern English, married a Glaswegian Protestant. When she went up to Glasgow some of his people were utterly vile to her, so much so, she never went back again. It is truly hard to understand that kind of inbred hatred and prejudice for what? a different religion and accent
