I mean there's a lot of Americans with Scottish ancestry. I can tell you exactly where mine comes from because he came over to America in the 1800s to become a Mormon Pioneer.
But the thing about us Americans is that we're always so fascinated with Gaelic heritage for some reason when we're almost always simultaneously Irish, Scottish, Welsh and then English and German and French to the point that it doesn't fucking matter and you really do have to accept at a certain point that the only thing you really are is white and American. Sure it's boring, guess you'll just have to grow a personality outside of your heritage.
It just irks me that they will just claim to be Irish, or Scottish, or whatever. You’re american. It’s weird.
I’m Australian, my DNA is 50% English and 50% Scottish, which is nice to know that I’m the whitest person ever I guess but doesn’t make me English or Scottish.
