Hello Bobbo,

I am quite aware of the issue you are discussing, it is often called "purity spiraling." You do have a point there, purity spiraling is a form of madness and disfunction, but we can focus on phenotyping as opposed to genotyping as a way to deal with this issue, and we can also make sure to discuss and promote awareness of the problems with purity spiraling. That having been said, surveys show that the ways that people tend to identify themselves concerning their race, is validated by objective DNA tests around 98% of the time, so despite whatever DNA tests might indicate, people instinctively tend to know where they fit concerning race and ethnicity. The other factor to consider is the axiom that the notion of "race" may have some fuzziness in its epistomoligical foundation, yet having a bit of fuzziness at the periphery does not render a concept or an entity non-existent, for example, orange changes to red on the rainbow with a a degree of fuzziness, yet this fuzziness does not render either orange or red to be purely imaginary concepts.

Take care Bobbo and thanks for the feedback
