      Nah, not really. I would encourage the university to make some generalizations about class background and nationality and become more prejudiced against the wealthy and the English and create a mandate to serve more of their underprivileged countrymen and women.

        become more prejudiced against the wealthy and the English

        Quite a telling sentence. It’s not just the wealthy, it’s the English themselves, regardless of wealth.

        Not the other UK nations, not non-Scottish students generally - no, it’s specifically the English you hate. Slow hand clap…

          I’m simply responding to the article and the OP. I’ve already noted I’m largely ignorant on the topic/school. The article notes the discrimination is largely against the Scottish and the working-class – two separate categories they can but needn’t overlap – and OP’s comment mentioned it’s largely a problem of the English at Edinburgh.

          My second comment was actually intended as a light-hearted joke in the vein of “always blame the English!” but I can see it really offended your sensibilities. Here’s hoping you recover soon!
