    Why do protestant unionists in northern ireland insist they are “anglo saxon lowland scots” and not celtic irishmen?

    They are. Different ethnicity. Different language-group. Different ancestors. They’re foreigners whose ancestors came here.

    Just like blue-eyed Europeans living in America are not Native Americans.
