Im never afronted by anyone, I think we have a different defination of a "scot", as an example there is an article in the daily record about Rod stuart, Hes was born in London to scottish parents but they paper was classing him as English, which I think is a bit unfair as he really is a good flag waver for Scotland and owns property here, but to some people hes seen as English but he sees himself as being a Scot which I agree with him its only an "accident of birth" that makes people call him English. The duke of wellington was born in Ireland and he used to say "being born in a barn doesnt make me a horse" he obviously wanted to be english and thats cool. its different for people in the US as most peoples family has roots elsewhere so its a real melting pot or cultures, but I agree that, even if your family has lived in the states for a couple of generations it doesnt cancel out the thousands of years of heritage gained elsewhere.So I want being disrespectful simply illustrating the differnces in perception and definations
