I come from an ethnically Scottish family and we have had relatives who struggled with alcoholism in the past. It isn't funny or a joke. My culture is not a costume. Sorry, but Groundskeeper Willie is not a good representative of Scottish culture or its people. I find that the stereotypes perpetuated by this character are harmful in nature and bigoted.
The fact that this character is voiced by Dan Castellaneta, an American of Italian descent, is also quite problematic.
I demand that this character is either recasted to be voiced by an actual Scotsman or removed from The Simpsons entirely. If this demand is not met within the next year, I will file a lawsuit against 20th Century Fox promptly.

The UK had English, Scottish, Welsh, Irish and Vikings all on the same island before it was a unified country and no one was saying "muh white brother" to each other.

well no
a scot is an irish from 900 years ago who's forgot he's irish (from the drinking, whisky wasn't invented until after that)
scottish people however are just people who live in scotland, and particularly in the highlands and islands while they'll absolutely call themselves scottish and there's no particular class or social barriers to scottish people (including "scots" people) from other parts of the country, the culture is much closer to its scandinavian forerunners and trading partners than it is to the lowland scots
hope this helps you update your manual of style for future raids! also, when you do this scattershot thing of posting every awful asshole type under the sun at once and flood the board with your bullshit, you just look suspicious, and that's the kind of result that gets you committed to a meat assault by your superiors, you blyat fuckwit
toodles!
