TIL March is Irish American heritage month, but we don't have a British-American, or Scottish-American heritage month. (lemmy.world)

The lack of a Scottish American heritage month is a serious injustice.

The tories can go cry in a corner, though. Fucking white house burners.

(OK, mostly being a dick for lols, but honestly don't feel bad that the former colonial power we rebelled against to even have a nation doesn't have a special holiday)

To be fair we don't have that large a Scottish-ancestry population. We do have a large Scots Irish population, but nobody should be celebrating hillbillies.
