    They were part o an Empire, not a nation. So I don't think there is a valid comparison there.
    What about the numerous states in Russia who wants to break away? They fit that description perfectly too.

    Are we boycotting Russia too now?

    Oh, might as well throw Spain in there as well... The Basques have their own culture, ethnicity and language, and they were absorbed by the spanish crown... Hey, what about Sameland in northern Norway, Sweden and Finland? Gotta boycott them(us) too. Hmm... Perhaps the native americans want their land back?
