but in a different form, namely -
'When a Scottish person does well, they* say he/she is British.
When they fail they're just Scottish.'
*they being English people, but more specifically the English media since we live in different countries but watch the same TV
and while that tendency is real and stupid
the underlying/implicit belief that it matters which (cultural) group gets credit for an individual's achievement is also real and stupid
in other words the victims are just as wrong as the defendents
