It is his assumption that he might be, is what we are questioning. Where did this idea come from?
It seems to me that this question has been answered, several times already. When that question was asked, the author was not asking "Does this mean I am a Scot, or a citizen of Scotland?" Rather, the author was asking "Does this mean I have Scottish ancestors?" Whether or not a few Scots on here choose to accept it, Americans do not mean citizenship if they refer to someone as "Scottish", or any other hyphenated American.
