I'm curious about the number of whites who've undergone DNA testing?

There are many whites who believe they are 100 percent white, and unless they've undergone DNA testing, they don't know what they are, and they may indeed fall under the one drop rule.

Unless you've undergone DNA testing, can you honestly say you and your children are 100 percent anything? Actually, you can't because you don't know who you've mated with or their background.

That's a good point. My grandmother recently told me that I have a black ancestor, had married into one of the Indian tribes that are in our heritage. This was the first time anyone in the family had heard this, but it's made me curious to know myself. I was thinking of doing the IBM Genome project thingy, but I haven't had the time to research it yet. I'd love to know if my heritage is family myth or truth.
