| The article linked by the op is absolute, fear-mongering, nonsense! You look at the genetics of any human on earth and you will see he/she is a mix of more than one ethnic group or race. Take my son for instance. His blood line is a mix of Italian, French, German, Dutch, English, Scottish, Gypsy, an... |

| I've had respectful discussions with opposing viewpoints, usually with people I know rather well. Respectful conversations are nice, but no one changes their mind ever. Yeah. I doubt that people change their minds that often, but I think it’s positive when people can at least understand the other s... |
