You needn’t get rude and insult people

I am well aware of the Scots Irish......these Scots migrated to Northern Ireland about 200 years ago

They are Scottish

Why are you so sensitive about this?

My own great grandfather was from Scotland......he settled in the Southern Appalachians

Most folks use either or....Scotch/Irish/ Scots Irish.....

Scotch is a derogatory term. Especially to the Scots. If anyone uses that term around me they will get reminded of it and if they persist they get a retort of the derogatory term fitting their ethnic heritage.
