A friend has just forwarded the following link on to me. I thought some here may appreciate it and find it thought provoking.

Hi, Angela -

I had difficulty getting the link you posted to load. Here's another way to access that information and a very moving video. We can't afford the 'luxury' of biases, because in the end, we are one people with a largely common heritage. Thank you so much for posting this excellent piece. ~ Claire

I found it moving too. I thought the particpants were very brave to be filmed and I appreciated their honesty. What impressed me was that when they finally got their results back, none of them rejected their ethnic makeup (very heartwarming).
