Looks related to the article I posted, and I agree that the time frame is inaccurate, as I said initially. However, I still stand by my previous comment.

Sadly, however, most often these discussions happen in white supremacist frameworks, where the argument is "this is a bad thing that must be prevented and we must preserve our purity" and all that crap. The blond article in Snopes certainly seems to be obliqely referencing those attitudes. I think all this mixing things up is fundamentally a good thing for us, but it doesn't change that I also find the loss of some of those unique extremes to simultaneously be sad.
