The "Scotch-Irish" (Ulster-Scots) are so overrated/overhyped. Another negative contribution from neo-Confederate Jim Webb.

What does it mean to refer to an ethnic group as "overrated"?

Their influence or impact on history and/or culture.  And yes there is a fair amount of mythologizing about the Scot-Irish (I am about 40% Scot-Irish though most likely from the English side of the border)

Back to original OP, it my understanding that an inordinate number of Catholics of the French, Spanish, Italian and even Irish kind ended up in Louisiana.
