The comedian Stephen Colbert, raised Roman Catholic in an Irish immigrant family, is surprised to learn that some of his ancestors were Lutheran, or, as he puts it, “heretics.” He is not shocked to learn that he has no African or Asian traces in his DNA, and is of 100 percent European ancestry: “I am the inescapable black hole of white people.”
It is interesting that this TV program - hosted by prominent black liberal Henry Louis Gates - acknowledges that race is a biological reality and that there are measurable differences between European, African and Asian DNA.
