If you will allow me, that may have been true as recently as 35 to 40 years ago, and still is to some degree for immigrants, but the rise of the "hyphenated-American" syndrome if nothing else indicates a waning of the "melting pot" concept.
And with that safely out of the way, may I invoke the clear superiority of the Scottish-American over our nearest-of-kin, the Irish-American (given that nobody can seem to locate the Pictish-American)? *\;-)
I thought not.

Hey, watch it. I'm an Irish-Scottish American. I guess I'm going to go have a fist fight with myself now. This is gonna hurt. :)
