Betting the Scots don't want her either but ten to one she decides to lace herself into some wicker armor shit, paint herself blue, and have her tits hanging out as she sings a 19 minute cantrip of "Boudicca reborn" and we will all be supposed to be thrilled with her woady tats and performance.
As a Canadian who has been to several indoor military events, I can confirm you can't hear shit during and for at least 5 minutes after bagpipes are played in an enclosed space.
In Scotland we don't have an equivalent to a Haka, which is completely fine! We don't need one and our culture has taken different paths through history. I wouldn't dream of appropriating Haka
(Best piece of Scottish culture is forming a big mosh bit and singing Loch Lomond at the end of an event)
Although to be fair, sometimes I look at Maori culture and tradition with envy. But there's a lot of historical reasons for why our traditional culture has been sanitised
Jesus, the absolute disrespect (to both maori and her own roots) is a disgrace.
That she puts the Haka alongside her braindead interpretation of what the scottish equivalent would be shows EXACTLY why people worry about its significance being lost.
i'm another fat yank. my ancestors on both sides were Scottish. mom's side is from the west Highlands, dad's side is from Glasgow and Paisley (but we won't hold that against them).
even i know that the Scottish battle cry didn't involve the pipes, and i went to American public schools. fuck.
Being fair pipers have led a lot of Scottish regiments into battle. Including famously at Waterloo when Piper McKay led the Grenadier company of the 79th Highlanders.
