Hi im Scottish, obviously. im a teenager and im trying to get more into our culture since im feeling really disconnected from it and it's really hard to even try get into anything cultural when half my family knows nothing about it and the other half of my family is from suriname and don't live in scotland. is there any tips on it or is it almost a lost cause? i've been tempted to try pick up gaelic but my school doesn't offer anything for it & im very busy

Hii! I'm mixed, very white presenting and im just wondering how can i compliment a POCs hair without looking weird? I've complimented many women's hair in the past because, it's gorgeous! I love how beautiful their hair looks and sometimes i wish my hair could have that definition! But recently ive noticed, more online than not. That i've been called disrespectful? Whether it be i've accidentally complimented a few months old dreads and they call me rude for it, or something like that. How can i tell them i didn't even notice and their hair is absolutely stunning because i feel bad coming off as racist towards them! I'm not sure how dreads or cornrows work and i didn't know complimenting them when they're older is rude

Hi! I'm Scottish. I'm not RCTA or anything but am I the only one who wishes they had a different culture? I love Scotland, and id choose to live here anytime. But im a bit bored. I have a bunch of non white friends who have vibrant and well celebrated cultures. And i can't help but feel envy that they have such beautiful and unique cultures whereas the most that's celebrated around my part is... We eat haggis sometimes.
