going back a ways there, I'd like to note that Scots-Irish is a term coined by Protestant (usually southern) Americans of Irish descent to distinguish themselves from the unwelcome influx of Irish Catholics. It's a way of alluding to their deeper ancestry as Protestant planters in the north of Ireland before they came over to the U.S.
Today it probably also gets applied to people of mixed Scottish and Irish ancestry (like myself), but its origin is different.
