Check me out I'm so totally Scottish. I live in America and my great grand parents whom I have never met were from Scotland. BOW to me!..... Sorry haha no I'm not like that at all. Yes, I am American and Yes my great grand parents whom I never met were from Scotland, but I never try to say I am Scottish.
From an American stand point, I know a bunch of people who think their Irish and back it up with a bunch of made up nonsense. I do envy you Scots though, it has to be nicer over there then it is where I live, but I'm still a proud American.
I have to admit though, I did some research on my lineage and found Scot history dreadfully interesting. (Civil war is the only cool thing in our history in my opinion) And I would love to move to Scotland after college. I will never claim to be Scottish until I am a legal citizen over there, and even then I won't push it ^.-
I'm sorry for the "incompetence of America" (I've ask plenty of international friends how to stereo type us and thats a pretty common word used :/) But I think Americans now a days take this country for granted and forget all sense of patriotism just because some thing caught their fancy.
Well thats my 2 cents take it or leave it. Just found this thread interesting.
