For a taste of what genetic studies of poulations are revealing: "For instance, there are average gene differences between the populations of north and south Wales, which contribute to different geographically distributed disease susceptibilities, but it would be a bold scientist or politician who would argue that here are two distinct races."
I could never understand the right-wing fetish with white supremacism given that "The DNA of native Brits contains traces of multiple waves of occupiers and migrants". Like it or not we are a mongrel race and healthier for it. It will do us well to welcome even more people to 'our' genepool, especially if they're young and can contribute to keeping me in my old age!
