America deserves to be nuked, this is my breaking point, it's irredeemable.
And yet it's Scotland that has the munchy box and not the USA.
I find it incredible that we don't have the ultimate junk food item here.

American exeptionalism is a hell of a drug :rick-james:
There’s more than 5x as many people outside of Africa with African ancestry than the population of Africa, so ergo the rest of the world knows African better than Africans.

Yup, definitely an American.
Exponential growth? Never heard of it.
This is the problem with heritage BS. If you are not from said region, you are not that region's ethnicity, because you are not apart of that region's culture. It's that fuckin simple.
If you're from Scottish ancestry, but born and raised in New York, you're a fucking New-Yorker. At best, you are a Scottish-American New-Yorker. Your kids will just be New Yorkers, though.
Bold take. I think it depends. I'm thinking of examples of ethnic enclaves in the US (e.g. Chinatowns) where the language and (a version of the) culture are laboriously preserved and passed down.
For most white Americans you're bang on the money, because racism didn't corral them into those sorts of communities where they maintained and preserved their community out of a sense of necessity, defiance, etc.
Those enclaves are seperate cultures from mainland China's and over time each culture will likely diverge from one another.
Cultures are physically manifested through direct interactions between individuals. Because of that, cultures constantly shift and evolve over small increments, and physical space has a large impact on how those shifts occur. Even if concerted effort is put into making the local enclave's culture the same as mainland China's, that enclave has surrounding influences from the American culture it's inserted into, and it will thus shift differently from the mainland somewhat. The lived experience of each culture is also going to be different in various ways.
Because of this, I think it's reasonable to state that a person born and raised in New York Chinatown is going to be culturally distinct from a person born and raised in LA Chinatown, and they both would be distinct from a person born and raised in mainland China.

ah yes truly the torchbearers for the highland ways would make the name Ronald MacDonald, of the Clan MacDonald known by every man, woman and child as the Laird of Lairds.
he looks like every man, woman, and bairn I met in between Skye and Inverness.
Doxxing Rangers fans is against the rules.

This is what happens when "cultural hegemon of the world" brain collides with "23andme obsession to fill the immutable void of whiteness" brain
I love that the 23andme crowd seem to miss the part where you don't really share much DNA with anyone older than your grandparents.

I'm also from North Kilt Town! Do you know Angus Macleod?
Wait a second, there's no Angus Macleod in North Kilt Town!
Why you're not Scottish at all!
Ach! Don't be daft! I was born and raise- hey, what the? My retirement grease! 
He was gonna retire on a track and field career after getting enough grease to last a few seasons. There's nary a creature alive that can outrun a greased Scottsman
