[quote=Anonymous]Heritage is more about self-identification due to social circumstance than biology. It makes little sense to force people into buckets based on their genome. It doesn't work for Blacks, it doesn't work for American Indians, and it doesn't even work for European immigrants. For instance, I am probably 1/2 Italian, 3/8 German and 1/8 French. But I have no identification with that 1/8 French, and we have little connection to cultural traditions of Germans. I was raised by an Italian mother with an Italian grandmother who were closely connected to their immigrant history. So generally I identify as Italian-American. [/quote]
