Almost everybody has a different line on where they would consider Whiteness to end. For example, I've seen some people say Turks aren't White, or that Northern Africans (because of Roman occupation and colonization) are. I'm pretty sure Nazi Germany believed Slavs were not White. I'm interested to know where YOU draw the line, because there is rarely a consensus reached, and I rarely if ever see this asked.

Just please don't start a flamewar in the comments, I don't wanna come back to this post and see a bunch of arguing. Keep it respectable.

They’re a pretty big genetic sub-group (and they’re insular, like the Amish), so the study probably looked into them separately.

Thing about the Amish is that they’re *really* insular. There’s a subpopulation in Pennsylvania who all have six (fully functional) fingers. Polydactyly is the *dominant* gene in humans, and since the Amish don’t often outbreed, once one family has it, eventually they all will. Where I live (different state), roughly 40 years ago, fully half the Amish in the area packed up and moved to Missouri. They *had* to, because they were running out of non-family members to marry and it was starting to give kids birth defects.

Weird that polydactyly is dominant.

In genetic mutations, *more* is dominant and *less* is recessive. You have three ligaments in your wrist for grip strength, and everyone with any Nordic ancestry does. It's reached gene fixation in the European population.

Most of the planet only has one ligament there.

They do, but it’s pretty rare.
