The Identity in Question

[Dave]

Ah, we are all human at the root of it.

Though I admit patriotism digs me in the ribs occasionaly.

In Britain we have just about every European genetic admix in our population - plus African, Asian . . .

We should be most cosmopolitan bunch going!

Later: suppose America might be at least as much of a mixture with slightly different proportions.

We are indeed a mixed bag Gloucester. We used to be proud of our welcoming acceptance of all sorts of different immigrants. Not so much anymore. Somewhere around our Statue of Liberty (help me out here you who know the exact text) are the words; Send me your downtrodden. As a matter of fact we have prospered mightily by accepting immigrants who helped us become the most powerful and productive nation in the history of the world. Alas, we appear to be on the decline.

Right now we are supremely fucked up and almost none of the people who came here from other nations are responsible for our decline.
( I make an exception to that remark for Ted Cruz)
