I have two hassles to do with who I am. The first is that people always talk about England as if it means all of Britain. They just forget about the other bits as if they don't matter.
The second hassle is the way people use 'Jewish' as an insult, without even realising what they're saying. Say someone won't lend someone else a pen, or give them any crisps, they get called 'Jewish'. Then there's all those jokes about Jews being mean and tight. Nobody my age even knows where it comes from, and they usually don't even realise they know someone Jewish, but they all think it's funny to go on about Jews hanging on to their money. I think it sucks.
People go on about Scots people being mean as well, so it's just as well I don't have a Scottish accent. I don't know why, but that doesn't bug me as much, maybe because the Scots haven't been so badly treated as the Jews have.....
