No, his mother has a Polish name originally. That means nothing - after all, as is commonly known, many minorities such as Ukrainians went to the USA under the guise of being Polish.
I still haven't seen one shred of evidence (or even quote by him) that talks about his origins.
Anyway, mods, could you please change the title? He, after all, is also Scottish-American ;)
So his mother's Polish name means nothing to you to identify his ancestry but his father's Scottish name does?? Aren't you being a hypocrite?
Also Ukrainians were only a tiny part of Poland's old population so they barely represented any significant amount of "Polish Americans". On the other hand when Poland did not exist as a nation from 1795-1917, virtually all ethnic Poles leaving Europe to America identified themselves as either Austrian, German or Russian and not Polish since these were the countries occupying Poland at the time. My grandmother for example was identified as "a German" and had a German name but her ancestry was 100% Polish.
A person's last name is an indicator of a person's ancestry but it doesn't guarantee it. We do know astronaut Chris Ferguson's mother has a Polish name and that Chris Ferguson has been active in Polish American activities like volunteering to be the Military Marshal for the Pulaski Day Parade. I read the Post Eagle newspaper (its not published on the internet) and they talk about Chris Ferguson's activities in Polish American affairs.
Other then Ferguson's father's Scottish name, we know nothing about anything identifying him as being Scottish such as Ferguson participating in Scottish American parades or festivals. And its not like they don't exist in America since Scottish Americans are proud people.
Mods, in my opinion I don't think we should label the title of this topic to identify Chris Ferguson as a Polish-Scottish American (at least not yet) just because Delphiadomine wants it. We all know Delphiadomine has a virulent anti-Polish bias and couldn't care a less if Chris Ferguson actually has Scottish ancestry. All he ever wants to do is find every angle possible to diminish anything good anybody of Polish ancestry has ever done. Either to find fault with them or to diminsh any kind of factor that identifies them as being Polish.
If there was evidence of Chris Ferguson participating in Scottish American activities, then fine that shows he's part Scottish. But as of now, there is (as Delphiadomine would say) NOT A SHRED OF EVIDENCE of this.
If Chris Ferguson is identified as being a Polish-Scottish American and only participates in activities that shows his pride in being Polish and not Scottish, what would that say? People who are Scottish or part Scottish are proud of their Scottish roots and are not not shy about showing their Scottish pride but for some reason we don't see that with Chris Ferguson. Hmmmm
