We? WE????
Mary Anne — (archived)

Listen, you. If you want to go head to head on pedigrees, I'd be willing to bet real money I've got it all over you in the northwest European department. Apart from a German great-grandparent, all of my ancestors are directly traceable to the early peoples of the British Isles, which is actually a pretty polyglot bunch when one considers the patterns of invasion and migration during the time when that was the European frontier. Shocking though this may be to you, people from western Spain migrated to the British Isles looking for gold before the Romans got there. So you are actually part Spanish and part Italian.

On behalf of the family, I say to you, "Shut UP!"

Plenty of people in our ethnic group, including me, find much in common with our fellow human beings, regardless of the fact that they have neither blue eyes nor Rh-negative blood types. We have learned that we can be proud of our ancestors without trashing other people's, and that heritage is something one passes on, not something inherited genetically.

We also remember when we were the ones who were disadvantaged and looked down upon. The wheel goes round and round.

When you say "we", watch who you speak for. The statements you just made are not only a disgraceful reflection on the family character, but (and this is actually worse) a mark of fear and stupidity.
