Like so many racists, Musk thinks that using the world 'culture' instead of 'colour' makes him seem less racist.

Anyone with an iota of knowledge about the UK and Ireland knows that Scottish and Irish cultures are quite distinct from each other.
So, what he really means is that they're white.
Yes. The term "culture" here is doing the heavy lifting for Musk's warped ahistorical nonsense.
By doing so, it also sidesteps genuine political questions in relation to global economic issues.

@Colman @TCatInReality @Remittancegirl Given how much his kind practically drool over the Spartans, perhaps he should be given the Spartan treatment.
I believe upstart Heliots were hunted to death? (Or does he imagine himself an example of the elite of a warrior culture?)
@ZDL I notice that almost all the men who are such fans of the Spartans would all have been thrown off a cliff shortly after birth. @Colman @TCatInReality

@TCatInReality @Remittancegirl they're not that distinct from each other, really, but they are very distinct from US culture. The UK/IE cultures are all shaped by Europe and colonial history in different and overlapping ways.
But he means race.
@Colman I think a lot of people I know who are either Scottish or Irish would have a LOT to say about the differences in culture between them and the English. @TCatInReality

@Remittancegirl @TCatInReality they would, but it'd be mostly nonsense because they're so embedded in the mores they can only see the differences.
(I'm somewhere between Irish and English so …. Well, Irish and London. Is London England?)

@Remittancegirl
The English-Scotts(sic)-Irish origin of the culture of New Mexico, does he mean? Or Louisiana? ...Hawaii, maybe? Alaska? Minnesota? Pennsylvania?I hate when these illegal aliens* come here and never even bother to learn about American culture(s).
*Musk came here on a student visa, which became invalid when he dropped out of university. AFAIK, he has never resolved his illegal status.

And which English-Scots-Irish culture is that?
The one made up of Celtic, Roman, Viking, Saxon and French cultures?
You only need look at the English language to know it is not some pure monoculture.
But these people don't deal in facts. they sell a mythology to hide their quest for power.
@TCatInReality @Remittancegirl
The 'English' culture they appear to refer to seems to be ancestrally associated with Germanic tribes that were immigrants in the 5c coming across the channel from the continent in small boats.
No mention ofc of the native Brythonic or Gaelic tribes, the Romans, the Vikings, the Normans... -
@Remittancegirl @TCatInReality To be fair though, culturally hatred, intolerance and inequality were a part of the "HRR" too, but they were religion, gender or class based.

@TCatInReality @Remittancegirl Seems Elmo has declared "English-Scots-Irish" to be the new "Aryan"...
Also, I know a few members of all three cultures & I have the distinct impression that they would tell him to stuff this cross-conflation up his ass.
