Just thought I'd give '2cents' worth.
I'm Scottish and and the term Scot is not in the least offensive to me or my fellow Scots. We regularly use the term to describe ourselves. (I'm also a Brit, again not offensive.)
What I don't understand is when people get upset when other people abreviate the descriptive term for a person belonging to a certain country.
Why is Jap, Paki etc. offensive? I just don't get it.
What does really piss me off though is when people, particularly from the South of England and the deep South of the US, refer to Scots as 'Scotch'.
Scotch is whiskey and when this term is used to describe me and my fellow Scots it just shows how ignorant people can be.
There ye go.
Cheers
