Ancestral Dilemmas

AS far as I’m concerned, the solution to the endless debate concerning whether members of specific European tribes actually constitute a ‘pure’ race or not is very simple. Whilst it is becoming extremely commonplace for people who care about racial matters to send their DNA samples to various research companies, something I consider to be a very risky business in itself, the fact that one’s test results may well come back with small percentages of North African or Jewish ancestry is neither here nor there.

Whilst I have visions of shell-shocked neo-Nazis sobbing into their swastika handkerchiefs and trying to convince themselves that there is really nothing for it but to semi-relinquish their preferred ideology and become a genocidal Zionist, there is absolutely nothing that anyone can do about it. This leaves two options:

(a) jump off the nearest bridge to demonstrate one’s unquestioning loyalty to the White ‘supremacist’ ideal, or

(b) celebrate who one is – ‘warts’ and all.

In other words, appreciate that without one’s genealogy having taken its particular course one wouldn’t have got beyond that proverbial twinkle in the eye of one’s more adventurous ancestor.

However, there is a much larger issue at stake here and that is the notion of diversity itself. My view is that it doesn’t really matter if people are not 100% ‘pure,’ because when it comes to ethnic preservation then surely it is still worth saving what we already have? Apart from the unpleasant capitalist connotations of it all, dumping millions of African and Asian migrants in Europe cannot be justified by the fanatical multi-racialists of this world simply on account of people not being ‘pure’. Indeed, even more overtly mixed peoples develop a unique identity of their own and many still wish to preserve it. Others, meanwhile, may either find race completely irrelevant or wish to categorise themselves in accordance with a single colour-scheme. That is a matter of personal choice, but if those tribes with a splash of the ‘other’ running through their veins wish to preserve themselves as a specific type from here onwards, and the southern Spanish are often cited in this regard, then that should also be a valid option.

This open-minded approach, I believe, is the perfect answer to anyone who tries to prod us into the melting-pot on account of not being ‘pure’ enough. Whilst the idea of a Nazi ‘master race’ was always a pretty stupid idea, so too is the concept that having non-European DNA renders the entire notion of identity null and void.
