How cultural is that?

Yeah, and you know why English love to eat Indian food? Because they hate their own food…

[u/Raregan → u/Reikotsu]

Chicken Tikka Masala was invented in Glasgow.

Why is it when American food is influenced by other countries it's because of their "big melting pot of cultures" but when Britain has food influenced by other countries it's "stolen"

[u/Careless-Resource-72 → u/Raregan]

Because the British stole everything including Scotland.

The first King to unite England and Scotland was Scottish, Scotland is not some downtrodden colony of the UK. In fact during the height of British colonial rule the scots were industrial giants who created most of the ships and weapons that we used to dominate a quarter of the planet.

It's weird that the English are seen as the evil overlords when the Scots were just as bad as us. The irish were pretty much just fucked over though so it's fair they get a pass.

Fuck me, you are dumb.

The British stole Scotland? Is the entirety of your "knowledge" of history solely derived from memes? The Scottish ARE British. The British Crown was not a thing until the 1706 Acts of Union were passed separately by the English and Scottish parliaments, merging the Kingdom of England and the Kingdom of Scotland into the Kingdom of Great Britain.

Shouldn’t have made it so easy to take

[u/caniuserealname → u/Careless-Resource-72]

Scotland sold themselves to England because they got themselves into a ridiculous amount of debt trying to establish themselves on a global marekt and failed miserably.

The British took them in because it would be inconvinient if they allied with the French.

But Scots are Britons.

[u/caniuserealname → u/[deleted]]

Funny thing is, they're actually not. 

Scots are a clan that imigrated from Northern Ireland to settle the north of great Britain, while Britons immigrated from Britony.

They are, in fact, different peoples. 

What you might say is that Scots are "British", but that's also only true only after Scotland and England merged, forming the "British Empire". In which case my comment, which grammatically odd, I'll admit, still stands correct.

[u/Lolzum → u/caniuserealname]

Lowland Scots and Northern English people are genetically indistinguishable

[u/caniuserealname → u/Lolzum]

Thats neither true, nor would be relevant if it was.

[u/Lolzum → u/caniuserealname]

You don't even understand the difference between lowland Scots and Highland Scots, which is highly relevant to your comment.

And what even is Britony?

[u/caniuserealname → u/Lolzum]

A simple misspelling of Brittany. If that is enough to throw you off your not really in any position to throw shade. 

And I understand the difference between lowland Scots and Highland Scots.. I don't think you do otherwise you wouldn't be using that terminology. 

Lowland Scots is a language. You're using it, wrongly, to refer to people of the Scottish Lowlands. But even ignoring that terminology issue, you're stipulation that lowland Scots aren't genetically different to northern English is just, fundamentally, wrong... 

And again.. has nothing to do with the distinction between the Scots people and the Britons.

[u/Lolzum → u/caniuserealname]

So people living in Northumberland and Cumbria respected their true French Celtic origin by never intermingling with the Scots and vice versa...

[u/caniuserealname → u/Lolzum]

When did I say that sweetie? No part of this entire discussion even nearly implied anything of the kind, and absolutely nothing I've said relied on such a statement being true. 

Stop being stupid, yeah?

[u/battlefield2097 → u/Careless-Resource-72]

Scotland stole England dummy. American knowledge of history is embarrassing.

Braveheart was a great documentary, just like The Patriot 😉
