I usually don't reply to things like this, as it just clutters up an already cluttered list. </disclaimer>
Why are you taking offense if you didn't bootleg? It seems clear that the comment is directed soley at the bootleggers, and not at all at Brittish people in general.

Here in Britain, just like in the US we have people of all colours and from most countries, so unless you know what colour and nationality the person is that bootlegged the tracks.... I suggest you just say "Scum"! That way you can make your point about that fact that you are unhappy with bootleggers (not the colour of the bootlegger or should I say...lack of it) without offending your white friends here in the UK that buy tons of "Detroit's musical underground" I hope colour does not come into it again, music has no colour!

And where would Detroits musical underground be without the 'pasty-white British scum' who worship the music? Not pressing up limited records to sell at an inflated price in order to get rich quick, thats for sure.
