My what a nice little racist you are, jedimaster!

Of course, given human nature, anyone who believes himself (or herself) pure-blooded is just fooling one person - themselves! While DNA testing can indeed answer some of the questions, how many among us really know what invading army, handsome gypsy, travelling salesman, sexual predator, etc., might have had a romp with one's own great-granny!
