Do you check to see if everyone living in the UK considers themselves British before you consider them British, or do you just reserve that for non-white people?

Don't expect an answer, I've asked Bill a similar question multiple times and [tumbleweed]

Americans with great great great great grandparents from Glasgow: "Hey, I'm actually Scottish!" Americans when they see a non-white British person: "So where are you REALLY from?"

If someone introduced themselves as Scottish I wouldn't be contest with. British nationalists would

Weirdly enough, most people don't actually introduce themselves by giving a breakdown of their ancestral history.

So- you’re a British nationalist? What the fuck bill, this doesn’t help you beat the racism allegations.

Wanting to be part of the UK ≠ being British. People from the UK are still European even when they aren't part of the EU. You are really having a nightmare on this aren't you? Like I bet you think you are really intelligent & now your ignorance keeps being exposed to you, & you just can't handle it

the scottish independence movement has the end goal of leaving the political entity of the united kingdom even if they are successful the independent country of scotland would still be part of the geographical location of great britain

Ok, so the words are meaningless if the british decide they own you At least they're consistent

Let’s look at the evidence shall we? 1. You have repeatedly contradicted yourself in the past 24 hours so yeah your words are meaningless. 2. You have also been thoroughly owned by multiple British people in the last 24 hours. So yeah I’d say that was the first true thing you’ve posted. Congrats!

You know the Act of the Union was mutually agreed between England and Scotland, right?

The geographical location is the "British Isles". "Great Britain" is a political entity. If Scotland left the UK they would not be British because that refers to the political part, the same way that you'd never call someone from Dublin "British".

True, but if Scotland did get independence I guarantee that they would not want to be called "British". And it would probably increase the chance of the term "British Isles" (which is already a bit controversial) being definitely renamed.

I think it's more likely that the term British will become like the term Irish in the sense they will both arguably identify people from a geographical location, but also a nationality that may not encompass the entirety of that geographical area

Bill are you making the classic American mistake of thinking English and British are exactly the same and one is not a subset of the other?

I'm one of the 50% of scots who voted for independence. I'm British, and I'm not sure why you think voting for independence means otherwise. The only Scots who would deny being British are a very, very small number in the Glasgow area strongly connected to irish republicanism.

I was born in England, I have lived in Scotland for the last 20 years, and I voted Yes in the independence referendum. At no point did anyone seriously suggest digging a sea channel along the border between England and Scotland to separate the island of Great Britain into two different islands

It isn't, because that isn't a survey of how they identify. I would also support Scottish independence, but that doesn't make me Scottish, although going by American rules I am

What would Independence mean in that context? " Oh we are an independent country now but we're also still British?"

In a hypothetical future situation where Scoland wasn't part of the UK then no, they would not be British (although geographically they would still be part of the British Isles). But that's a hypothetical. At the moment they are legally British. What point are you even trying to make here?

Britain is an island and British is a geographical descriptor. So definitionally, yes, independent Scots would still be British in the same way that people from any country south of the US border are Central or South Americans.
