Regarding the rest of your comment I explained in another comment why it's extremely annoying.

Oh get over yourself would you, I seriously doubt that Celts stole a hairstyle from Egyptians, it is possible that they both just had the same idea. Or do you reckon the Celts were trying to mock the Egyptians for some reason?

I'm not so sure as white people stole a lot of things back in the day and claimed it as their own.

England shipped tens of thousands of Irish prisoners after the 1798 Irish Rebellion to be sold as slaves in the Colonies and Australia. There were horrendous abuses by the slavers, both to Africans and Irish.

Yes ma'am you're right. Our issues aren't valid.

I didn't say your issues aren't valid but carry on passive aggressively putting words into my mouth why don't you, that's really going to help the lines of communication

You're not allowed to say that though Niamh because everything is Americanised, and in American history, black people and Native Americans suffered at the hands of white people.

The treatment of Celtic people in both Ireland and Scotland, for hundreds of years, was absolutely abysmal. Do we kick off when we see an English man in a kilt? No.

That's just one example of one population being abused by another across Europe, throughout history... But apparently, that's all irrelevant.

I personally say keep it simple. If one person wants to embrace another culture in a positive and appreciative way - whether it's "theirs" or not - then where is the bad? Save your battles for situations where there is actual prejudice and hatred.
