TJ, you need to read the fine print. <If the average Chinese bloke checks his Y chromosome, a surprising number of them will find something akin to Genghis Khan, who you have heard of. >

I do not think the descendants of such a bloke will have altogether avoided his propensity to conquest. Heck, I would bet good money that Hu Jintao and others who are gung ho in favour of murdering Taiwanese and are murdering Tibetan children have got more than a passing association with Genghis Y chromosome.

Don't get too hung up on borders, which are artificial abstract lines on maps. Americans are a brew of Irish and German [among other things] - so you can expect certain things from them and they do not disappoint.

We racists know you can't make a pit bull terrier act like a beagle. Imagine pit bulls doing the sniffing in airports. They'd eat the passengers.

<<Genghis Khan>>

<<<... he is chinese, is he, or at least according to you?>>>

Well:

He got around let's say.. as did many of his Mongol brothers..

"Y-chromosomes are passed from father to son and the Oxford survey showed that there are now around 16 million men who have inherited their Y-chromosomes directly from Genghis Khan, passed down an unbroken patrilineal line from the Mongol Emperor himself."
