The Scottish victimhood mentality and inferiority complex

Tightfisted in what way? There's a million ways to measure how generous someone is.

Don't want to part with their money full stop, least of all for other people but are happy to accept anything that is going. Not saying all are but the ones I work with certainly are.

Are these threads just troll-like to have a good laugh when people rage, or are they for real?

I think they are generally for a laugh but as with stereotypes generally, there's usually an element of truth.
 
None of which would prove an Aberdonian to be generous. ;)

Is this where we can wheel out the ancient joke about copper wire being invented after two Aberdonians were fighting over a penny?

Perhaps there is an element of truth to some stereotypes but having them as a default position for encountering people is seldom a good way to proceed - it may well govern the responses you get if you (general you rather than specific you) can't be bothered to actually meet someone and get to know them a bit before judging.
