"Scottish-Canadian culture with its strange traditions of men wearing kilts, carrying swords, playing bagpipes and eating exotic foods"

Could this be written any more inaccurately and/or impugning of Scottish heritage?

1) Drop the "-Canadian" out of this, because with the rest of the line the writer really seems to be going for what is initially specifically Scottish heritage ... unless there's a Canadian kilt/sword/bagpipe/exotic-food period I don't know about.

2) WTF is U with "strange"?!?! Every heritage has aspects that is "strange" to some other people somewhere. By using "strange" IMO it lessons Scottish heritage, not to mention writes opinion into a Wikipedia article.

3) Check the whole "men" thing ... In fact, launch and rework the whole kilt/sword/bagpipe/exotic-food crud ... that's about the weakest, Hollywood-based writing I've seen yet on Wikipedia. Why not just write 'Scottish heritage' and leave it at that.
