This is a hat I wear at work.
The point is that why should people have to put up with it? If you are strong enough to withstand it, good for you. History has shown that one, or both, of two things will happen: they'll find somebody weaker than you; or they'll get a bigger mob than yours. Silence has never worked for long.
I see enough people sick from stress, taking time off, getting disciplined for absenteeism, or out of the department. Let the aggressor take the heat, and do the time.
A story my mum told me as a child: when Hitler was a child, someone made a joke about the Jews, forty years later....
And, yes, English/Scottish rivalry is still very strong, and sometimes people get carried away. They have to be stopped.
(It's not racism. It is harassment based on nationality or place of origin.)
