Blevins, it's against the rules to reveal the person in classification threads (unless you're the thread creator)
Do you have any ancestry from Scotland?Scottish, obviously, this young lad is of clan McShqipt.
Do you have any ancestry from Scotland?
Yeah but not relevant to my joke.

@Mark Your joke wasn’t funny.
You could be right, and misinterpreting sense of humor for mocking it’s possible.I don't think he was making fun or saying it in bad spirit. Internet mediated globalization is still in early stages so people form all over the world
are put into one room with entirely different contexts and points of reference concerning what the boundaries of "normal style of discussion."
I think unless the comment is something very obviously propagandistic or in bad faith, the defacto assumption should be one of good faith, that
the person means well and there is simply a clash in different styles of communication.
In many places not injecting humor and jokes into conversation can be seen as awkward disinterest, whereas in some it can be seen as not taking
it seriously or mocking.

Could the game I watched today (England - Italy 1-1) , played a role on my interpretation? Vardy EN (26' minutes) and Insigne IT (87' minutes).
Non capisco perché continuate a ignorare l'uomo qui sopra vestito in fustanella come possibile alternativa nella panchina della vostra nazionale.
Yes, I understood that you were joking. I asked you if you have Scottish ancestry because i want to ask a couple of things. At the begging of XVI century, English Kings, Henry VIII is the first name that came to my mind, employed Albanian Mercenaries, Albanian stradioti, to protect the borders between England and Scotland from the raids of the Scottish highlanders. These Albanians are mentioned even in folk songs as Albanoys in the archaic language of the time. I don't know if you are familiar with this part of history of Scotland.
