Why is it ok to call scottish people jocks?

Question

and other "racist" names? I work in a call centre and get called a jock from english/irish and foreign people quite a lot (i was surprised at the irish calling us that). what the h**l does that even mean? one of my friends got called a "haggis eating b*****d". why are people allowed to say that to us and its not racist? i've never even tried haggis in my life.

If you notice - the NATIVE SCOTS are the one's sounding off to taking offense to this term.  Who are the English, Irish or even Americans to tell the Scots what is and is not offensive to them?  

If it's offensive to the Scots, then it's an evil, slanderous name to call them.
