I'm a poser?

[macwilkin]

IMHO, an American who ONLY wears the kilt to Scottish events is indeed a poser. To me it's like a "cowboy" who only wears western clothes to a rodeo or a "punk rocker" who only goes punk to punk events. It's not necessarily a bad thing, but it is what it is:

Poseur

I'm sorry, but I disagree. An American wearing a kilt to a Scottish event, such as a Burns Supper or a Highland games, isn't necessarily posing as something he's not. For many of us, we are displaying pride in our ancestry and recognising the contributions the Scots have made to this nation. President Woodrow Wilson, himself of Scottish ancestry once said:

"Every line of strength in American history is one colored in Scottish blood."
