California Schemin’ – REVIEW

Gavin (Seamus McClean Ross) and Billy (Samuel Bottomley) were two Scottish rappers who dreamed of escaping their mundane call center jobs in Dundee. Instead of finding success, they faced rejection when they auditioned in England. Two overly fashionable judges quickly dismissed them, largely because of their Scottish accents. To make matters worse, one of them had an unusual beard – a facial feature that didn’t help their image. This experience highlighted a kind of prejudice against people from Celtic nations, similar to the immediate dismissal Meghan Markle sometimes faces when pitching ideas.
