This guy thinks that by continually repeating the same b0llocks that people will believe it. The actual truth is that genes are a significant input into any outcome, ethnicity included. Anyone saying otherwise is selling you something and waffling ideology not reality. In his case it's because he's seemingly frightened by nationalism and wants to mix everything up. Still living out the Hitler Jewish genocide meme of eighty years ago. That approach actually ends up creating what he says he's afraid of but....perhaps instinctively or subconsciously he wants that as well....don't know. Demonic.

in terms of DNA, different National identities must surely have a different gauge for Multicultural influences. At the extremes.....ANYBODY can claim to be an American. Regardless of ancestry. Got the accent, got the paperwork ? bang, you are a yank. And at the other extreme are loads of countries that are relatively a Mono-culture. Mongolia, Finland, Japan etc. Its extremely difficult to just walk into those places and take the p1.ss by claiming to be from there. England and Englishness is certainly closer to the American model than the Mongolian mono culture. Sterling is arguing strongly for dna, but i can only half agree with him. Or maybe only a quarter. Che Guevara was not Irish, no matter what a dna test is telling us. Nor the tons of Murphys, Gallaghers, and O'Briens in New York or wearing a Chelsea shirt. Not really fully irish. Accent & upbringing matters a lot. To exaggerate the argument of Sterling, Clint Eastwood is more English than Declan Rice, Jack Grealish, Conor Gallagher, Kalvin Phillips Harry Maguire, and Harry Kane.... who are all mostly irish genes. what makes you English.....accent, languages known, paperwork, allegiance & upbringing spent in England, family ties, place of birth, local schooling & friends. Clint Eastwood is not English - even with the dna. Conor Gallagher is not really irish. James Gandalfini was not really Italian....even though he could speak excellent Italian.

Anyone who constantly posts that genes have a significant input into ethnicity is just repeating b0ll0cks in the hope that some believe it. Unfortunately it seems that some here do! Which says a whole lot more about the population here than ever it does about the verocity of the claim.
