Then I get 1.1% Balkan, I don't know if that ties in with anything.
I like it when anthropologists and biologists claim races are social constructs but ethnic groups exist. Thats foolish to say because you could easily argue that they too are social constructs. Im shocked they are not already. They will when certain groups that they [PC, jews, communists, leftists etc...] dislike they will come out and say it. Using the same arguments you could claim ethnic groups are social constructs.Quote:

They do this because if the word race is removed from science then we will live in a less racist world [so they think].
Im not kidding. I have read several things about this. You can actually get fired in science and ostracized for even suggesting races exist. Most of this 'science' is from Jewish intellectuals in America. Much of these loony ideas come from America too. You are not free to think or even come up with evidence.
Most of these pople that argue races dont exist use a strawman argument where they will argue with you and have themselves defines different races or the definition of it as a completely different species [which is not how the word was traditionally applied at all]. It wasnt until the 19th century with nordicism did you see the usage of the word liberally applied to include ethnic groups. Race is not an ethnic group.
K15. You are like how most Americans score. Germanic mix.

Your AC @your sign shows it well. If race is a social construct then why could they easily spot the Native American admixture in you?Quote:

As of right now, the source of my Native American readings is a mystery. Well, apparently they were able to condense it to the point that they could make the determinations on a chromosomal level.

Interesting, thank you...Quote:

I think I'd be closer to Swedes, Norwegians...and Irish, because I am a quarter Irish.
I have a good amount of German blood, too, but I must not have inherited much of that?Quote:
