What are the ratios on those?

Don't really have a good idea. My mom is Filipino and that comes with the Chinese and Spanish ancestory, somewhere in there is Mongolian and whatever else is there. My dad has the German and Indian. It's my mom's side where I get all the asian stuff.

Oh, your mom's Filipino, gotcha. Yeah, Filipino's can look like anything. There was this Filipino woman I used to work with that looked like she was half Chinese/half White and she had such a nice butt -- like that of a Brazilian woman (ahhhhh). Sorry, that was random.

I was talking to a black guy at work a few years ago about this very subject. He then said that I might not know, but maybe I have some black already in me. I said that might be so, but I know that he had some white in him. He said, how so? I said because, I had seen him dance.

:D

You know what's funny? It seems that the people who push diversity are the same people that push the melting pot ideal. But there'd be no diversity anymore, people would all look the same.

you think like a nazi

Come to think of it we're still very 'purebreeds' for thousands of years. I guess it's been exploding in the last 50 years with globalization and the world getting smaller.

I just think it'd be hilarious when there can be no racism since you'll look the same as the other guy.

But then knowing human nature, we'll always find ways discriminate based on wealth, region and culture.

The only "purebreeds" are in Africa.

They can disagree all they want, genetics proves otherwise.

Ha. If I shave, I look like Prince, if I don't, I look like a caveman, if I cut my hair, I look like a Mexican, if I keep it long I look like a girl.

So if you have long hair and a beard you like a female dwarf with elephantitis?
