Now, I hear jokes in English media EVERY SINGLE DAY making light fun of the French, the Welsh, the Scottish, the Irish. I also hear it in the Scottish media, and if the pattern continues, good lord, it also happens in every other country.

Now, when citizens of the country actually take these jokes on board and become indifferent and even hostile towards other nations, we have a problem.

Its narrow-minded, its completely useless, and its totally stupid.

And its true to say that while reading Tolkien's books, I was most disappointed with these Elves who made fun of the Dwarves and vice versa.
