If I'm Scottish, can i consider myself Irish also, because they came from the same people?

Can't imagine why you would want to do this.\nJust a can of worms.\nYou would then have to decide whether you were an Orangeman or in the IRA.\nForget it.

You are both Korean (your ethnic designation) and  Argentinian ( your Nationality or national origin) and probably could  be considered  Latin American but probably are not Hispanic as the designation is usually defined.

England and Scotland are not different countries.  They are both part of the United Kingdom.  So, you could obtain dual citizenship, but you should consult the British Embassy's website.\n\nAlso, it depends upon where you were born.

They are really different.  Irish has a softer brogue with a lilt at the end.   Scottish accent is harder, clipped sounding.

Yes I do consider myself British, when filing out official documents I always write Brit Scot. I am very proud to be Scottish but just as proud to say I am British.

Personally I'm married but if I weren't it wouldn't matter to me where a guy was born or who he descended from.  My ancestors are mostly from England but I have French, Swedish, and Scottish with a little Native American mixed in there.  Native Americans originally came from Asia.  The way I look at it is people are all distantly related.  I don't know anybody who has anything against the Japanese specifically but anyone may be discriminated against because of their race or heritage from time to time.

You can check your mother's birth certificate, her mother's birth certificate. Trace your families history to help prove the fact.\n\nOther than that, you can't really "prove" your Indian. Just like I can't "prove" I'm Irish besides the fact my father was Irish.

This is a bit tricky, My Grandparents are both aboriginal but my grandfather has Irish bloodlines, when my Aunt was born she had blue eyes and red hair. The rest of the family has brown/black hair and complexion. When my Aunt had her daughter, she was also a red head and her father had brown hair. Red hair is a pretty strong gene but you never know what you're going to get.

I don't consider myself to be of Irish descent, although I probably have more Irish ancestors than a lot of people. (My region was settled mainly by Irish immigrants "back in the day.") Face it, people want to have some kind of ethnic heritage other than just generic American, whatever it may be. Hmmm, I don't really know, so I'll make an educated guess. Mexican? Nah, I don't look Mexican. Or Italian, for that matter. German? I think my name's too normal. Normal? Hey, it's probably from somewhere in the U.K. or Ireland! And didn't great aunt Mildred mention something about someone coming over from Dublin in 1902? Why, I bet...\n\nI'm probably overstating a little, but you get the point.

I'm British.\n\nI technically am English, but I have some Irish Blood. I feel that I am British by birth, and am from the same nation as a Scotsman, a Welshman and a Northern Irishman. We are four Countries united into one Nation. I bear a Union Flag with pride from my window and on my clothes (in fact, wherever I can), I don't own a St George's Flag.\n\nI am a serving member of the RAF and have very good friends from all walks of life and from all of the Countries that make up Great Britain. I am a patriot and am proud of my British roots.

I guess there are ignorant fools out there. It's the same way ppl think West Indians are from India (which btw incase anyone reading this didn't know, Indian did migrate to West Indie, so they have Indian roots, but West Indians have a culture of their own) I take an offense when ppl get this mixed up, so it's not surprising you'd take offense to ppl thinking Scotland isn't a place on its own. I've been to Scotland, it's awesome, I love the castles, the fast food potato at the mall and ofcourse the beauty of the place. Anyways good luck getting your msg out.

I also hear a lot of half Irish, half Italian, half Scottish and half Hispanic.\n\nThe questioner is clearly half witted.

If you are an African American, a German American, Polish American, Irish American or any other type of "Ethnic" American, Then you are a divided American. You don't ever "lose" your ethnic or culture. There are many ways that you can keep in touch with your past. Look at Oktoberfest for example. Look at all of the different ethnic festivals that are celebrated in our country. Italian, German, we have St.Patrick's Day, even Cinco de Mayo in some parts of the country is celebrated. Why I'll bet that even fr_chuck has an ethnic background.........
