I don't believe in any of us being "100%" of anything as it's impossible to be "pure" after tens of thousands of generations. Also, there isn't a "pure" ethnic group, as much as you'd like to believe sure.gif

Anyway, I am Chinese.

100% Khmer. Even though I agree with Kulong there is no "PURE" race, I don't know what else I am mixed with so why bother claiming that 1 or 2 percent mixed blood I don't even know I have?

Did I say anything about claiming that 1 or 2 percent mixed blood? sure.gif

All I am saying is that by claiming you are "100%" of something, you are in a sense, lying.

You are doing nothing more than trying to boost your own self-confidence by thinking that you are "pure" icon_rolleyes.gif If you want to be so pure, make sure your blood isn't polluted by mating with your siblings icon_rolleyes.gif

That's getting to technical, no need to trace back hundreds and thousands of generations, hell, going by your logic we might as well claim we are part ape, since all humans evolved from the ape. You know, forget apes, we are part organism, since we are all made up of organism. I guess I'm a liar then, can you prove to me I'm actually a product of mixing, what am I mixed with? So that I will no longer claim 100% Khmer but 95% Khmer and .01084319% African .0234543 Indian 1.353%, 2.3245345% Chinese, .235235% ape.

Fact remains, no one is "100%" of anything.

Nothing wrong with showing pride. But what you are proud about is based on false information, then it's rather silly don't you think?

Then by your reason, everyone in the would be african. This would imply that there is not race or ethnicity, which is false.

There is race and ethnicity. I'll take Chinese for example since I am one.

I am Han Chinese, but I can't say I am 100% Han. Why? How do I know if ALL my ancestors were Han. It's been known that Han had been mixing with foriegners in the past. Also, the Han ethnic isn't pure either, it was made up of the Huaxia and Dongyi tribes.

You all can say whatever you want. To be, it seems silly to say you are 100% of anything... icon_rolleyes.gif

I was specifically refering to the reasoning behind this.

--I was under the believe that you mean all people are african.
