The phrase pure-blooded when referring to humans is utter nonsense.

  Maybe so, but can you please not post unsubstantive comments to HN?

    Calling out racism is unsubstantive?

      It can be. That comment was.

  Doesn't pure-blooded just mean "this group of humans hasn't intermarried with other groups much since the not-so-recent past"? How is that nonsense? And why limit it to humans? What makes us so different from other animals in this regard?
