Are there any members that are NOT of European ancestry posting to this forum?
Seems like most of the discussion here is around European matters, with the emphasis on Mediterranean. I just think it would bring more credibility to the site if members of all races would be discussing human biodiversity under the same roof.

There are a lot of members who aren't from Europe, there are some Indians, Mexicans and some mixed-race members, but sadly, there are still no Africans or Asians.
If you know any, please invite them, they are welcome here. I'm not sure, but I think that the most extensive works on anthropology, race and sub-race have been done on European types, I doubt that there is as much work about the diversity of Negroid and Mongoloid race, but I may yet be proven wrong.

No one is preventing Blacks from coming in and posting here. Are you arguing for "forced busing" (figuratively speaking) to make this forum racially integrated and statistically equal? Yes, some Mediterraneans took the initiative to create the site, but this forum allows people of ALL races to post.
I find it disturbing that a particular interest in European affairs should be labeled as undermining a forum's "credibility." It insults ordinary posters here who have freedom to choose their own topics and who happen to be interested in their own people and culture.
This forum is open to members of all races interested in genetics and anthropology.

Not too many black people own computers in total.
I can expect more asian members to join and discuss here, but I doubt we'll see many black members.

Actually, we have at least two posters from India, a moderator from Israel, some Brazilians -- and on and on and on. If this poster were more serious he would have bothered to check out the site a bit more thoroughly before jumping to the conclusion that everyone who posts here is White. Heck, two flamewars that have erupted here have involved non-Whites at the center stage -- in both cases whom I have supported.

In any case, this forum is still very young ( three weeks or so ) you can't expect much diversity in these early days.
Most of the members here have been 'stolen' from other forums, most of the forumers are bound to be from the most 'civilized' areas of the world.

Didn't know the forum was so young (and that's why I asked).

I'm a Greek-American. I just took a DNA test. If my results show that I'm Negroid above the statistical-error level I'll post here as a Brother.  |
