I don't believe there is any pure race. The article makes a good point that a nation is an organic thing. If you are accepted as Welsh by your nation, then for all practical purposes you are Welsh. I am not a thorough-bred Anglo-Saxon who has a genealogy going all the way back to Woden either. We can't micro-quantify these things, and it's a ruse when leftists use that as an argument (i.e. how do you define 'English' etc). The fact is the English are not the Welsh, and the Welsh are not French, and French are not Japanese. There are a combination of ethnic and cultural differences which make us unique. Allow the English to express their uniqueness, and to not have to share their identity with others. I want to see the great diversity of our world preserved for future generations. You apparently do not, but would prefer we all look the same and have the same zero-respect for our cultural roots and distinctiveness.
