In fairness, I'm Welsh, and I'd reject someone from Cwmbran too 🤷🏻‍♂️
- Cwmbran
  Is it infamous somehow?
  
  C W M B R? I mean come on! Even the Welsh are like THAT NEEDS 22 OTHER LETTERS IN IT BEFORE THE ONLY VOWEL !!!
  
  Not particularly, it's just one of those taking the piss out of the neighbours jokes. Wales is small enough that we're all close enough to be neighbours :)
  
  Isn't that when a whole bunch of Welsh just showed up out of nowhere 538 million years ago?

the intolerance of other peoples' cultures

An Airbnb host once deposited a key at a shop that was closed on the day of my arrival. This made it impossible to access the place. All I got was a refund for that day, and had to search for an alternative myself.
What the article left out is that it was a pet sitting deal for the host's sheep.
- Bravo, you had me for a moment there 👏
If we can’t be racist against white people, who can we be racist against?
- It's OK to be racist against agents if you're an Aussie.
- Lots of non-white Welsh people too.
  
  Non-white Welsh people are fine, as a rule.
- Unless you're a RINO, we already hate our children and I doubt every one of your children has the exact same skin color as you...
Imagine going to Cwmbran and being pissed off that there's Welsh people.
Almost like the letters in right wing papers pissed off at people in Stornoway speaking Gaelic on the bus.
- Imagine going to Cwmbran and being pissed off that there's Welsh people.
  The (prospective) guests were visiting from Wales. The Airbnb was in Manchester.
  
  Manchester, which is right next door to Snowdonia. Someone being a grumpy neighbor?
I tried to find the community clip of Piers' dad being racist against welsh people and failed
He's not the Messiah!
Leave that Welsh tart alone.
Goldie Lookin Chain will have something to say.

One of those rare times I would side with the host (no,I haven't read the article).
