I am English, and like America we have had a lot of races enter the gene pool - but over a much much longer time. I know that DNA testing can identify the descendants of Saxons. Can the same technique identify the descendants of African (moorish) and northern Asian troops left behind when the Romans went home?
Someone I know is totally racist and boasts of her pure English blood dspite the fact that the Saxons, French, Romans have all taken residence here in the past.

Yes, they can even identify which area of Africa it's from, at least they did on an episode of the BBC's "Who do you think you are?" just last week.
It's an expensive little game, though.

In the slavery days, white slave owners did hook up with their black slaves. Not all but some did. So it is totally possilbe to have some black blood in you, and vice versa. I could have white blood in me. The problem is, people only look at face value. We all come from the same time and era. And we all bleed red.

It is impossible for any European to be other than a mixture of all the people that have been here before us, especially in our patrilinear societies.
I don't know how exact genetical testing could be to prove/disprove some-one's descent.

in the south a little ole white lady will on occasion pinch the nose of a little boy, if there are two little nodules ,like little b b s in the tip of the nose,that can be felt. then that boy has Negro blood in him, if it has just one little b b nodule , he is pure white, ya'll, so you dont need to do all that fancy testing,just ask an ole southern white lady to do it,they do it best.now this is what i heard, I do not know it to be a fact.I ve never tryed it. nor would I wont to. nor do i care,

Yeah her DNA can be tested and unless she was hatched she has some "tainted" blood from another culture.
