Hmmm, Gryphon noir, I have been watching a blending of culture and... genetics or race in my own family and my friends families: A kind of melting pot. I have decided to not have any children, so that leaves my sister's family and my niece to carry on the family genetics from my father's side. My sister's son is partly hispanic or latino, both culture and race, and so is my niece. If I go back one generation to my grandfather, or even my father, that would be unspeakable. My father has had to accept this blending, it's still very painful to him, and from here on out his family line is at least part hispanic. I think this blending is good.
Perhaps one day, we will be so blended that we are all everything because we all came from all of us. might be the big plann... Nice and confusing, but that's the melting pot. We could pick who we are and change it like hair styles. LOL! If we're just talking culture blending, that's being done right here and now as we talk.
*******
BTW
My mother's side of the family traces back to Scotland and Ireland, The Shaws. My father's side traces back a couple of gens, and then we just don't know. It might be that the blending has been going on all along, LOL!, I sure do have a bunch of half relatives out there that I've never met.

Reason: Keep finding mistakes.
I tried to ask my inner curmudgeon before posting, but he sprayed me with the garden hose…
Yes, I have squirrels in my brain…
