Now that we're well and truly into the realisation that we're all of 'mixed blood', let's stir it up a bit.
One of my favourite things to tell 'racial enthusiasts' is that, if you're of European extraction, your ancestors are probably from India. It appears, from archeological records, that a large migration from the northern part of India happened some 10,000 years ago bringing the Aryan people to (what we today call) Europe. Prior to that it appears that the Aryans may have originated in the Middle East. The end result of the migration is: all of us Europeans are of Indian/Iranian extraction.
There is no chance that anyone is a pure anything. It doesn't exist. Those who make racial claims of any kind are making political statements and that is a horse of a different colour.
(It is entertaining to join those who chant "Aryan Power" with "Power to the Brown People".)
