Can someone be 100% one ethnicity?

Question

I always hear people say im 100% polish or 100% puerto rican, but is that true. I always heard that your ancesters come from somewhere so then it doesnt make you 100% one race. Like me for ex. I was born in poland, came here when i was young, parents where born in poland, my grandparents are too but some are american citizens and i have some german ancestry way back, into the 4 or 5 generation. So then that doesnt make me 100% polish, because some of my family are from germany and some where born here, in America

Answer 1

no...only if they believe in their own stuff example like religeion or like us asian take off ur shoes before u go in

Answer 2

Doubtful. People have migrated so much through millennia, that saying to be "pure" is a n**i concept. Not realistic

Answer 3

Yes they can.

Answer 4

No.  For example, a person is not 100% mall rat, or rug rat  Human beings have common traits, which by definition would cross ethnic lines, which are somewhat arbitrary and defined by .... who?

Answer 5

Nobody can be 100% of anything. We all have some sort of common ancestry going back thousands upon thousands of years.

Answer 6

The first thing you have wrong is your understanding of ethnicitity. Ethinic groups are African, White, Latin, etc. Country of Origins are no way of telling your Ethnicity. You could be White, and so that you are 100% Nigerian, because you live in Nigeria. So you need to rephrase your question otherwise when you tell people your ethnicity is Polish, be prepared to be laughed at. P.S. German is not a Race!

Answer 7

Yes it is possible to have 100% one ethnicity.  But don't confuse nationality with ethnicity.  eg. 2 people both 100% German have a kid in america.  That kid is ethnically 100% German but nationally an american.

Answer 8

I think it's possible to be something like 100% white, or 100% African, but IMPOSSIBLE to be something like 100% German for example.

Answer 9

There are small enclaves around the world where there is indeed ethnically very similar populations, and they tend towards idiocy. Ethnic diversity is actually a plus.
