I know of no racial others in my family tree and all my descendants come from Western and Northern Europe. I have gone back hundreds of years, and my sister fits the description of Coon’s Hallstatt to a tea.
However I think I am more of a Keltic Nordid.
I recently found out a friend had a grandmother on her mother’s side who was I think Indonesian; she has always identified herself as Dutch so I never thought much of it. Her father is Dutch and very Nordid (probably Hallstatt), her mother was half Dutch and half Indonesian. I always thought something looked racially other about her as she has dark skin, and unusual build and eyes, which looks to have a residual epicanthic fold. She married a light eyed Anglo Australian and had kids, now one kid has dark skin and the unusual eyes with what looks to be an epicanthic fold yet his eyes are grey. Another kid has blue eyes and blondish hair with a round face. Finally the last child has blue eyes and blondish hair and a long face.
Now this last kid I think looks more Nordid than me (maybe not to an expert at classification but at least to me) yet he has an Asian great great grandmother, how does this work?
This in-law is rather racist (even towards Asians) and anti mass immigration and the kids are as well.
The brother of the above light eyed Anglo Australian and who looks similar married a full blood Filipino and their kids look totally Asian I literally cannot find any resemblance to him.
This (combined with Agrippa’s super Nordids from mulattoes) has somewhat shaken up my ideas of preservation.
It made me think when we talk about repatriation of racial others were do we draw the line?
At full bloods that fit in well or maybe agree not to interbreed, half castes, quarter castes etc?
If someone is married to a white can they stay?
Maybe we should make it so they need a white grandparent, similar with Australians needing a European one to get a EU passport.
