If by "race", you are referring to physical attributes and genetics, and not cultural aspects, then the simple answer is: Yes, Scots and Irish are the same race (not "basically", but definitely, the same race).
The British Isles was first populated in roughly 8,000 BCE, with people from the continental European Mesolithic tribes. There have been successive waves of conquest and Immigration to both Britain and Ireland, occurring at slightly different times, but generally indistinguishable.
Thus, effectively, all non-recent immigrants of the British Isles are a mix of: Celts (from a variety of tribes), Romans, Anglos, Saxons, Jutes, and Normans.
Racially, there are some minor variations, particularly with respect to the frequency of certain skin, hair, and eye colors, but this is a minor thing - genetically, they're all the same race.
Now, culturally and politically, they're miles apart...
This is a pretty generalized statement. Some Irish are superstitious, some aren't, just like any other people.
The diaspora refers to people from Ireland that have travelled to other parts of the world. It is basically the extended Irish community around the world.
They were English of Irish descent. Basically, they were Enlgish but had Irish blood in them. Many Irish people went to England looking for jobs during the Irish disapora.
This is NOT a question - it is a STATEMENT !
You cant tell is someone is irish just by looking at them. Someone who doesn't look irish at all may be full irish. :D

Different Irish people drink different drinks. So they could drink beer, liqueurs, soft drinks, spirits, wine or just water. Basically anything at all, just like people in other countries would.

The Boston Celtics got their name because the word "Celtics" is very Irish and many Irish people bought tickets to see them play. So their coach thought up that name. Basically what I'm saying is that they got their name because it was a very Irish name. GOOD LUCK!!!!!
Speaking for myself and a few close friends we tend to just go "meh". If someone's parents were both Irish then that's not too bad or even their granparents, what is a pain is when Americans say "oh my great grandmother on my fathers side was Irish, so im Irish too" and despite their claim to be Irish couldn't even tell you that Ireland is in Europe, that kind of statement tends to drive some of us crazy. But people who actually know somthing about Ireland and have strong links to the people over here are fine, i don't mind calling them as Irish-American since their not ignorant of the culture of Ireland and are American so hence Irish American. Just my 2 cents.
In Irish Gaelic it was usual to say Dia linn or "God with-us".
