Actual ancestry and geography are irrelevant to the "no true Scotsman" fallacy. It doesn't even have to be about a Scot. The fallacy is about reinforcing generalization despite contrary evidence.Except that it doesn't, because the whole point of the Scotsman thing is that what a Scotsman is is well defined by ancestry and geography.
