But all Americans are Scots/Irish and go on about it all the fucking time

Oh my God, don't they just.

They probably are.
But it is true and would make it quite difficult for me to settle there.

The country being the least English out of allt he ex-colonies
would make it harder for me to settle there. Because it's the least familiar, both the people and the culture.

fair enough
but for me, I wouldn't see the point in moving to a country that's just the same as mine

I'd move to Canada.
It's foreign and that, but at the same time the people are similar in mindset to us enough that I wouldn't feel entirely alienated.

I've been to the States a few times and one of my best friends lives there now, but I couldn't. I can't find much in the way of common mental ground.
