So the actual issue here is that the 'pure' bloodline might be tainted? Oh boy. The cat is out of the bag.

If this was actually about 'culture', we'd have a different discussion here. Nothing prevents a chinese/italian family from making dumplings and home-curing some pancetta. If anything that seems like a pasta/noodle dream-team of family. The cultural elements that make up an ethnic identity are remixed over time, and the ones that work tend to stick around.

Is there some creative destruction that happens there? Sure. But that's the norm, not the exception. Plenty of great stuff comes out of it. We wouldn't have chicago-style deep-dish if all the italians had to stay in Italy and use fior di latte and mozzarella di bufala exclusively.

> which means their descendants will not share your ethnic identity - it will be destroyed

Mixed and combined, not destroyed. Besides, where to draw the line? Should Calabrians and Sicilians not live next to each other? Cantonese and Hakka?

There it is ...

respectfully, I hope your mindset is extinguished and rendered extinct soon.

Disrespectfully ... well, I won't share my disrespectful thoughts here; just know that they exist.

I give the guy credit for at least admitting his point of view, disgusting as it is. We can down-vote him on HN and wish extinction upon his mindset, but the scary reality is, at least in the U.S. that his mindset is now spreading, after a long period of time where it was declining.

It's not enough to hope that it's extinguished--you have to actively fight it.
