Many European are pure Europeans, but that doesn't mean that they're "racially pure", just that their origin is 100% within Europe even if we go really extremely far back, and any presumed "admixture" is just a component of the ethno-genesis of the peoples of Europe, and this composite just varies. What does it matter anyway? It really depends on what you mean by "pure". I gather that people usually means "purely European" if all their ancestry originates in Europe, and that they have no other ancestry.

We could call all humans "purely unmixed African" since all humans (incl. Neanderthals) ultimately have African origin.
