Good point. In addition to DNA testing, a visual inspection is a must. Latin looks are essential. African looks, a disqualification.

Good blood is essential to preserving culture. --- cornel <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Marlon, (but with respect if you did not originate > this discussion which has > a Mr Das and a Mr Menezes in the email I received) > > Re your proposal to use DNA testing to separate real > Goans from others, I am > not sure whether you are serious or joking! > > If you are serious, any DNA testing will demonstrate > that the Goans, of whom > you talk, have a lot of African background rather > than your 'precious' > Portuguese connections.
