Who among us is not of mixed heritage? I know I am.

92. I agree

that the human race is slowly homogenizing. Well maybe a little more quickly than 'slowly'. My extended family is a perfect example of that. Within 3 generations we've gone from 100% white to representing half a dozen ethnicities. And even though my maternal grandparents were both white, when they were married it was a big deal because it was during WWII and my french Canadian grandfather was marrying a *gasp* German instead of a 'nice French girl'. So maybe they set the tone for their family.

ETA In keeping with some of the replies, I thought I'd put it out here that I'm French Canadian and German on one side, and Ukrainian on the other. Apparently though the German side may have some Roma, and on my Ukrainian side my great great grandmother was Jewish. And we can trace our French Canadian roots back into France and so that part of my family came to Canada quite early on, and I've been told it's rare that there is no Aboriginal blood in those who came that early, so I may have that as well. I'd like to do one of those DNA tests to see. Humans have always mixed it up to a certain extent - it's just easier now with air travel.
