@blanchelincoln wow that sounds remarkably similar to me. We really are mongrels. I have Manx, English, Irish, Scottish, and Norwegian ancestry.

@segano1 ...aye, interesting point...and not surprising. I am glad to see another who takes such pride in his Scottish heritage! Good on ya.

I'm so proud of my Scottish heritage.

@blanchelincoln True. Most Caucasians in America are mixed with different European ancestries. My dad is Scottish (including Scotch-Irish), English and German with touch of Swiss.

@mrmagicroundcircle Doubt it, what about mixed people?
Plus I don't like Yank accents and personalities, I wouldn't want their Yank foreigner ways influencing and changing Europe, India and Scandinavian territories, they are their own people now.
Yanks pretending to be Irish rather than Americans and not celebrating being a Yank. That's because Scots and English immigrants who arrived centuries ago to the Americas are the real Americans, they call themselves Americans, whereas the papist Irish arrived later [cap in hand] and always refer to temselves as Irish Americans - just like all other papist immigrants to America.
That's why you never hear of English Americans, German Americans, Swedish Americans etc.

LOL Most Americans are mixed, mongrels, mutts-- whatever you want to call it. I have English, Welsh and Scots-Irish ancestry that were in this country going back to Revolutionary times. But I also have Slavic roots (Polish and Russian) that came through Ellis Island in the early 20th Cent. And now we have Latin American and Asian "ingredients" being added to the pot.
