Yeah that is a good point. Same for Scotch-Irish which was what the mostly English settlers in North America called the celtic people who moved in. A lot of those people were even welsh and the english who had fought these people for centuries and were very familiar with them still mixed them up.

For me, being white means knowing my history and once I studied that I couldn't help but conceive of a deep and lasting resentment against the english.
