Birthe, I do not think it racist, to be interested in ones family tree, just that many racists will be interested in theirs, because they seek racial purity, hence more likely to use the term "pedigree" as if their inheritance is superior to another, which is the concept behind breading and animal pedigree's.
Experience suggests however a truthful family tree often exposes to a racists, that that have the blood of the races that they belittle, somewhere in their tree, at least in a young (in modern terms) country like Australia. All racial purity is to some degree inbreeding. Our Australian indigenous people have being here more than 65,000 years, as time has passed since colonisation, having aboriginal blood is increasingly an honour rather than a curse. The Australian aboriginal represents the longest continuous culture in human history. We even find records of the rising sea levels after the ice age 12,000 years ago, How old is Egypt or the Chinese civilisation?
