I'm a mutt of european descent. I was born in the US and so were my parents. I'm American.
There's some Scot back there. I happen to like Celtic music and love beers from the Irish and Scottish cultures. But I'm not so desperate for cultural identity that being American isn't enough for me.
I'm a mutt too.My mother was a Gordon, and her family is of Scottish descent. My Father was born in County Tyrone, Northern Ireland, and immigrated to this countryn in the late 1920s.
