#2I'm 88% Eastern European by Family Tree DNA test. Terroir and all that stuff.
I think that the racial discourse is not just unfair and smelly, but also unfruitful. You ought to really look at culture. This won't help the right with the left, of course, because they hate to admit cultural differencies either.

Which cultural differences, specifically, are you talking about? Can you give some concrete examples?

Yes, the remarkable aspect of this whole debate is how easy it is to feel superior to both sides ( https://xkcd.com/774/ ).

>88% Eastern European
I don't think you went back far enough, keep going and you are likely to find your Eastern European ancestry migrated out of Africa.

Are you suggesting a return to Social Darwinism? Because that worked out really well last time.

Some cultures have hard time admitting, for example, that societal and legal rights for women and men should be as matched as possible.
Some other cultures got there mostly.
When these cultures meet and interact, the former just become stronger in their misgivings.

The out-of-Africa theory is junky agenda-driven science. It was debunked a decade ago.

#10How to “scientifically” determine race was a huge problem for racist regimes like Nazi Germany, Apartheid South Africa and the Jim Crow United States. They ended up with various kludges, because there is no such thing as pure “white” blood, nor a convenient clean line between white and black or any other such socially-constructed category.
