Agreed with analog. Its one thing if you're of Scottish heritage, but just to be some guy that wants to wear a skirt is a different story.
Once more, I think that once your family has been in America for over 100 years, maybe people should celebrate their Americanism. I sometimes suspect that Irish and Scottish are so heavely celebrated because they're the only "safe" white heritage that you can celebrate.
Before my anncestors became American, they were English and German. Both countries and cultures that, in the past, gained reputations as conquering nations, and both at one time or another have been enemies and defeated by the United States. Either way, you don't see too many people out celebrating "British Empire Day" or "German Blitzkrieg Day". Instead you see people celebrating the cultures of people that are always depicted as the victims of English/British expansion.
