No offence intended.
Just thought it was an interesting observation that for someone to talk to you about the qualities of a nationality, they themselves might have prejudicial ideas about either Scots, English or both ... which I (alone?) found amusing.
I’m not arguing there isn’t a history of the English being pricks.

No offense taken, just seems a bit tenuous when there's unfortunately ample precedent of quite poor behaviour (be it hooliganism or just general rep for being loud/rude) or historical grievances from Waterloo to Gibraltar to Churchill playing god with India, the Irish or turning against the Greek partisans who fought on our side and condemning the country to a bitter four year civil war... There's lots there to keep you busy before chalking it up to folk playing to a gallery of Scottish grudges.

Also may have something to do with the appalling behaviour of a huge number of your compatriots abroad over the years. Ref: Every single football tournament ever...or, even, international political legacies. A polite summary of how the reputation of English tourists has been created can be found at any resort on the Costa del Sol...
Remarks unsolicited or encouraged by me at any rate so don't know why Greek, Spanish, French, Portuguese or Italians are "hedging their bets" on Scottish folk being racist towards, can you explain?
Determined to be the victim much or are you seriously saying that how much of the International community perceives the English is not because of your own actions but, in fact, determined by your neighbor of 5million people being massive racists about you?! I fear you've actually passed the bounds of credibility on that one...
