    So you're wearing a Scottish garment to an English pub staffed and populated mostly by Hispanics and African Americans?

    Is this a great country or what?

    Lol!

    In all honesty though, Liverpool have a good following at Maggies (or at least did when I was last there) whether there's Brits there or not

    cool story.

    i've found that when i've encountered someone of a different ethnicity i've gotten the best remarks of how great it is to show pride in my heritage and what-not.

    I wonder if that's an appreciation of the rebellion against the homogenization of cultures that popular culture has come to represent... Resisting 'the norm' or reaching back to ancestral roots is an empowering thing, something I think minorities would appreciate more than the average caucasian (who is often perceived as being automatically empowered to a certain degree).

    Or maybe I'm just full of it.
