I don't know very much about this Scotchland place, although I've heard it might be in Wales.

All I know about it is what I learned from this educational video they played us at school.

Cultural appropriation. Bah.

Revolves around the notion of 'culture', an often superfluous term with little universal meaning beyond what the user of the word gives it. It can literally meaning anything dependent on the context in which it's used.

'Thug life' is as alien to me as it probably is to the OP, but if your friend wants to harbour under the delusion that he is from a 'ghetto' (itself appropriated, of course), then what's the problem? Him lying to himself affects nobody else whatsoever.

My brother has gone through the "wigger" phase for about the last 25 years. All his clothes, music, everything. It's painful to see.

Actually, my wife is something like 1/4 Scottish and is very proud of it, her mum who is half Scottish even more so.

She tells me the educational video doesn't cover all the facts.

"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
