I have a longstanding suspicion that forums which deal with the topic of race and ethnicity attract two or three types of people, there's the scientists, who tend to congregate around the classification sub-forum, there's the mixed people who are racially insecure and then there's the racialist 'pure' people.

So, let's have a poll.

Is your ancestry either entirely made up of one heritage or at least 7/8ths made up of one heritage as far as you know?

Disclaimer: Can we avoid any trashing of other people's races/ethnicities/religions. I think, if enough people participate, this could be an interesting exercise.

I'm predicting 50-70% of people will be 'pure' for the purposes of this poll, clearly no-one or very few people on this forum will actually be pure.
