    How many Americans had even a little knowledge of these different cultures prior to Disney making mainstream and popular movies?

      The amount of Americans that claim to be Scottish because their great great grandparent once farted in Edinburgh is pretty damned high to be fair.

      The difference between the amount of Americans with genuine Scottish ancestry and the amount who arbitrarily claim Scottish ancestry is absurd. I dunno if they all saw Braveheart and decided “Freedom! Fuck yeah, I want some of that!” or what but it’s ridiculous.
