Scottish Star Trek

[Chef]

Not particularly hilarious. I grew up in the deep south (US) and have had my accent and upbringing ridiculed all my life. This sort of blatent fun being make of the Scots annoys me beyond belief.

Since the southeastern United States is pretty much populated by Scots decendants then it's the same thing.

Sorry, but NOT funny.

I certainly understand your point, the difference is that there is a tradition of poking pun at ourselves in Scotland (and the UK in general) more than there is in the US. In British humour there are far fewer off limit groups. Nearly everyone is fair game. I doubt anyone was offended and I certainly hope that doesn't change anytime soon.

I think maybe I just don't have much of a sense of humour these days. Too much going on. <sigh>
