3:12 "Mixed is projected to be the largest ethnic group in 2020"

Actually everyone is mixed; either recently mixed or mixed gradually over millennia.

@OfficialGetGln

Are you referring to everyone being culturally or racially mixed?

@stepheng1483 Why should any one be obligated to stick to their own 'kind'? Who are you, or any one else, to tell them to do so?

May I suggest to the audience and the project, that we stop using the word race when discussing such things because it is not an appropriate use of the word.

According to genetics we are ONE RACE there is no such thing as an interracial human in genetic reality.

I would go so far as to say that even using the word race to differentiate between black and white is absurd, and actually helps to keep racism alive in our world.

Lets end this falsity and start teaching our children the truth.

ha its strange because in england mixed-race folks is a vast population but in ireland you will not see one single half-caste or quarter-caste mixed person. but yet in the space of only 15 minutes in england you would see about 10 mixed-race people and yet ireland and england are so close but 100% different.
