I don't support mocking surnames, nor do I know much about Ireland and Wales. However, to treat Scotland as purely a victim of English colonialism is incorrect. Scotland's cities and institutions benefited monetarily from its ties to England and its place in Britain. Scottish colonialism was successful in what's now Canada (Nova Scotia) and US. In 1800, Scottish people owned 30% of land in Jamaica, a territory where approximately 300,000 enslaved black people resided. Today as a result of Scottish re-settlement, plantation ownership, and enslavement, 60% of Jamaican surnames are Scottish in origin in a country where 90% of the population is black.

Listen, for people wanting to call out colonialism, there are way too many of you mocking Irish, Welsh, and Scottish names.

No, they’re not alphabet soup, no they do not look like “you’ve thrown letters at a wall and used what stuck,” they are living, breathing languages which we did CPR on after the British Empire shot them.

Like, people DIED to keep them alive.

Every time I see some (English/American) interviewer make an entire segment forcing Saoirse Ronan to list off Irish names, I die a little inside. It’s particularly galling to see the same people ooh-ing over how “mystical” they sound, or claiming ancient heritage to us.

Realise there’s a world beyond your myopic lens and just accept sometimes you’ve got new stuff to learn. Fuck knows I do.

Apparently the local university’s undergraduate entomology course sends students to catch insect specimens at the same place I like to go birdwatching, which explains why I saw three enormous frat looking dudes with tiny bug nets and overheard one emphatically say “bro BRO I told you we already have enough lepidopterans”

the desire to pronounce words as they are said in their source language for the sake of accuracy vs the desire to not sound like a complete tool
