Yes. But that's not to say it's this PC nightmare version of "what racism is!" Racism can also be healthy appreciation of preserving cultures (not just their regalias in museums)

    I love that used the word retarded! I'm all about reclaiming that word2. Highland Games are all about preserving their culture...you know, kilts and pipes and jigs, throwing rocks and logs and eating crazy food made mostly of entrails. Telling stories and folklore. Meeting other Scottish people to procreate with if your trying to preserve your race. It's a real thing you know? Most every culture does this, unless your to outbred to identify your culture, and that's sad! Can't even find the song of your heart! Talk about disempowering!

    Before you even say it, I KNOW! I know....we we're never called Scottish until we we're taken over by the British Empire....i know that. But we're really grateful for the fragments we have, and everyone deserves to have those fragments. More titanjust fragments in fact! So we need to do a better job of preserving culture and launguage.
