We are more closely related than we think

Friday's discussion on race was very interesting to me. I have always been confused on what the difference between race, ethnicity, and nationality was. I have come to the realization that race may not even exist at all. I recently read an article on genetic testing done on Penn State University students who took part in a race relations project. When the student's results came back many if not all of them found that they were made up of variety of ancestry that they were not aware of. The reactions of the students were different because some were very excited to learn about their differences while others were devastated. I guess this goes to show us that we are much more closely related than we think.
