Re: What are the British Like

I remember going to a Scottish festival at Stone Mountain here in Atlanta two years ago. Bloody hilarious, lots of men in Kilts, bagpipes, sheepdog and not a scottish accent in sight! My wife (who is Chinese) decided if they can do so could she, and started telling everyone that her name was Jin McYin, and she was from Scotland

Its so pathetic when Americans have to hyphenate their nationality to something else to sound good.

If you're born in America, you're American simple as that.

None of this Irish-American, African -American crap.

Right, so I am an American and proud of it, but because I am interested in history, I am also interested in my heritage. Researching that has taught me a fair bit about the UK. Nothing wrong with that. Would I go so far as to hyphenate it? No-family's been here long enough.
