I am a MIXED BREED..."Are You?"

In the Philippines' history, the country is being colonized by Spaniards, Japanese, and Americans. They had ruled the country for a certain period of years. Thus, most locals are not pure blooded Filipinos. Some of them got married and have children with the locals. I. myself is not a pure blooded one. If I am a dog, then I considered myself a mixed breed. I have a blood of Filipino, Spanish and Chinese. I had learned so many things about Family Tree. My last name is based on Spanish. "Are you pure-blooded in your own country?" "Are you a mixed breed like me? Image Credit: Shavkat

I bet majority of world is some kind of mixed breed. Some more than others, but why the whole purity thing is a joke. Even if they could keep bloodlines pure, eventually people are going to move and settle somewhere else. Then evolution adapts people to their environment. So if once white, live somewhere in the desert long enough, skin will turn darker and if black move to cold, live their long enough skin will turn lighter.

@Shavkat Sheltered why tribal people on that one island throw spears India I think it is. They know will disrupt their life, bring them in to modern world and sure most are happy but if one does it now whole tribe is lost. I get why they throw spears but how about just saying that instead of throwing spears. Where society gets lost with in itself.

You have a point. No offense to China. In this country, the traditional locals are not letting their children marry other nationalities. They wanted to continue what is really their bloodline. There is no issue if being a mixed breed. Unfortunately, some Chinese people still stick to their own beliefs and practices.

Racial discrimination is base on so called "purity" of the blood line. If it was applied only to animals and not people, racism will cease to exist.

We cannot remove or even terminate this notion. In my own perspective, it still does exist. I agree that racial discrimination exists in the human world only.

i think most of the world is mixed that is most people. If you read the history of almost any country it seems. I myself have so many mixed ancestors . I call myself Hienz 57 it's the name of a sauce sold here in a bottle with 57 ingredients. I have native american, Irish, scotch, german, and possibly some black blood.

It is nice that you took it in a funny way. I do the same thing. I make fun of it but deep inside there is no need to make a big deal. I like Heinz.

Depends on how long back I check. I assume there'll be something else than Norwegians back there. On my paternal grandfathers side there's a Swede some hundred years ago and possibly a German even further back. On my paternal grandmothers side there's Norwegian for at least 5 generations. I don't know that much about my mothers side, and they were from the coast and had more contact with other countries I suppose.

@Shavkat I have planned to do some further research, maybe try to use the internet. I have also considered an DNA-test for fun.

@Torunn It does sound fun to do this. I think it is quite costly to have a DNA test.

I think you are still lucky to know where you originate. I had watched a documentary that some people were abandoned and don't have any idea what is their family background. I felt bad for them.

I think almost everyone is a mixed breed. My grandmother was part native American. My grandfather was part German. I also have Irish in my ancestry too.

@shaggin I understand where it is coming from. I think it is happening in my father side that there is a family feud. In time, we are going to cut the tie with them.

@Shavkat It was different in the ancient times in Europe, people did not move from one country to another. I know many Italians now married to foreigners.

@LadyDuck It is also the same thing in my country. We were colonized with other countries. Thus, some Filipinos are not a pure breed.

I guess you had researched about your family bloodline. For me, if I am born in a country, I still considered my purebred. I don't know why some people are making a fuss about being a mixed breed.

I think it is still being practiced there, right? I had known this kind of practice in China. Traditional parents don't want their children to get married to other nationalities.
