<Every American I've ever run into is part Native Indian> Mostly true. There is a growing list of gene variants, which can be tested for, to determine racial heritage. And, the picture that's emerging, is that there are very very few "pure" people. They can only be found in Iceland, a few other isolated mountain/island populations. Everywhere in the Western Hemisphere, almost everyone has at least a little Asian and/or African and/or Native American "blood". And there are virtually no "pureblood" Natives or Blacks. Another factoid from genetic studies: about 10% of children born in wedlock are unrelated genetically to the husband of the mother. So, I conclude that racism will eventually be solved by improvements in transportation technology. Better compasses in the 1700s, 747 jets today, they put different-looking boys and girls together, and then the inevitable happens. -------------- BTW, the way to tell the difference between Canadians and citizens of the Great Satan: Canadians are more PC, and refer to Natives by the newest-and-most-improved ultraPC label: First Nations.
