“Actually “scotch” is an adjective which means “of Scotland”. “Scotch” only refers to a drink because it is shorthand for “scotch whisky”. The word “scotch” is there to differentiate it from whiskey from other places like Ireland. Beyond that your reply is an impressive exercise in ignoring my point which was really about the term “African-American”.”
We agree on the African American thing, but I stand firmly that there are no Scottish or Scots people that will agree to be called Scotch.
Read more on the topic and see that I am correct.
Most people know very little about their ancestry or family history.
The fact we have Chinatowns, Little Tokyos, Little Italy’s, Germantowns, Scandinavian areas, etc. reveals to me that retention of family/ethnic identity is NOT a solely black practice.
