haha i picked uo on that too, but since im a girl, i have indeed worn a tartan skirt so there was no point for me to argue. sadly enough tho, the weather does not permit enough skirt-wearing as it should. hence why i spend about 360 days of the year in jeans. *sigh*. but yeah, alephnull, we may not be technically a "race" but we're a different nationality, at least. i'm having pork for tea tonight |
You may not "technically" be a race, eh? Sure, you may be a distinct nationality and you may even get your own country after england finishes sucking the oil out of the north sea. However, I have yet to hear anyone propose on talk radio that genetically, Scotts have an unfair log tossing advantage as they have a higher proportion of "fast-twitch muscle fiber". Maybe I'm not listening to the right stations.
I haven't been to scottland since I was young, I remember it being pretty, cleaner than the US, not understanding anyone, and eating very little (my father is cuban and in cuban families the men tend to cook, plus that side of the family owns a restraunt).Overall, I really liked it though. It's only now that I have come realize that I was being indoctrinated with racial stereotypes.
I've been meaning to visit scottland again now that I'm a little older, but my non-research related foreign expeditions usually rely on crashing at a friend's place when I'm in a nearby country and I don't know any Scottish grad students here.









and thats cool that your mammy is so proud of where she's from that she's brought you over here. do you like scotland?
