Scots-Irish

[Blackrose87]

Very interesting posts. I suppose this forum gives a biased view on the American public. I'm starting to get the impression maybe Scots/Scotch-Irish/Irish/whatever heritage and culture arent as important aren't as to the majority of people as I previously thought.

Put another way. The Scots-Irish mixed with the English settlers are the lettuce in the salad bowl of US multiculturalism. They are the white pallet upon which the collage of multiculturalism is painted. They are the grout that supports and holds together the mosaic. Their government sees them as non-Hispanic white. They are un-ethnic.

I suppose you could say that those of English and Scotch-Irish descent have now just become un-hyphenated Americans.
