Whaaaaaaaaa
I had no idea there were that many Australians here???

I'm mostly English but I have quite a lot of Italian in me as well as a tiny bit of German and American

Irish on my mother's side but other than that I'm pretty much a mutt. lol

I would think the majority of people today are a mix of different countries. There has been so much interaction for centuries and epochs, how could there not be?

In western countries perhaps, other places not so much. In fact shockingly so.

Like how Japan had closed it's borders.

Like how Japan had closed it's borders.

Great example. Other countries don't integrate for reasons other than government policy too. It's quite widespread actually.

For some reason I was talking to a customer about the DNA testing you can do to check who you are descended from and she mentioned she was Danish and I said, like the vikings! And she said , that's where the red hair comes from. So I said, I thought red hair was from the Irish and Danes were blond...so she mentioned the red hair in the Irish was probably from all the pillaging and other stuff the vikings did over in Ireland... And another customer chimed in, I wont give my DNA out - you never know what they will do with it now that they have your information. It gave me a few things to think about that is for sure!

It's pretty easy to get your DNA even without your consent if they wanted to.

[Gingerale]

that's true - but does it all get listed in a big data bank?

[Watery Star]

Huh I didn't know/didn't think about the Danish vikings pillaging Ireland. Actually it's been awhile since I learned about the Vikings so I'm not on top of which countries and regions they all had pillaged and from what region they were from.

tbh I think most of us have some kind of intermixing of different cultures/races. If you checked our DNA we are probably related a little to everyone.
