You say that you want to stay away from stereotypes, but elsewhere on this forum you were talking about dressing your Scottish cartoon characters in tartan clothing!

Ah but when a gormless American stereotypes a Scot, that's TOTALLY different to a Japanese person stereotyping an African American. Anyone can SEE it's not the same thing at all.

BTW, hope your tartan shawl and tartan leg-warmers are managing to keep out the cold as you sit in your wee but and ben, huddled in front of the peat fire in an effort to keep warm
