Yes I am just white.
as long as the gene keeps on getting mixed it eventually phases out!

okay "Jeuteau" you're full of crap. after the fourth generation the genetic trait of a person changes! UGH!!! don't yo guys know anything about Mandealean genetics?

"Hapa chic" the term is MITOCHODRIAL DNA.... and its only passed to females. I do know more about genetics than you do. and yes... I am not mixed (not that theres anything wrong with that)

What does in matter ?--the blackest race & the whitest race will both face extinction at some time.--We are still all the same species.

Where have you heard Genes die out ??
Maybe you should study anthropology and talk to someone learned instead of backwards.
So you really believe that if you did not have someone in your 5th or 6th generation the ones that came after would even be there.
Did you know that scientist can link a common gene in all of us no matter what race going back ?
Why so little self esteem that you thik you need to boast your only claim of success is that your white ????

I don't believe a gene dies out as quick as the fourth generation. What about the blue-eyed American Indians found by whites in the 19th century who were descendants of 16th or 17th century mixed couples? There are probably other examples but this is one I remember.

Where in the world did you get the strange notion that genes "die out"? If they did, there would be nothing left after 4 generations.
Aside from which, all would have to be mixed, as in any logical, reasonable examination of the matter, all ethnicities can be traced to the same small population of human ancestors.

Well everybody has 2 parents, who also have 2 parents each.
Irish, German, African, Indian.. etc. That is a mixture of 6 people right there!
Just because your skin is white doesn't mean that you aren't mixed.

Everyone has mixed ethnic backgrounds. Not one person is pure in color. Somewhere down the line you have another ethnic background other than White in your gene pool. We are ALL mixed with something.

OK ...scientifically you may be right. but some where along the line we came from 2 things a male and a female.
hey huffyb a little cynical don't you think...

No, you're not "just" white. Are you aware that you share 99% of your genes with the great apes? No one is "just" anything!

Are you aware that some hominids left africa and went to iceage asia but the chain was never completely broken and thus never became separate species like chimps and gorillas.
