I great puzzle for me is why you, and at least some other Scots, seem to care so much about the issue. It seems that the very idea that Americans hold the belief that as individuals our cultural heritage extends back to the homelands of our ancestors is offensive to you.
I will say this as politely as I can. Quite frankly I do not understand why anyone would presume to tell other people what they should value and what should be of interest and importance to them, so long as those beliefs cause harm to others. Does my thinking of myself as have a Scottish heritage (only one part of my genealogical family stew) detract from your well being in anyway?
