Hi, Nice article. Although I have a big question. As far as I know East Indians are, by definition, multiracial. Moreover, the most "pure" East Indians are at least a mixture of Dravidian (A southern native group related to Australian Aborigens) and Aryan (Aryan is another way to say Iranian, which is people from India's neighbour country: Iran). So, how come the article uses the term birracial as if East Indians where a "pure" race? India is a civilization, a melting pot, in the same way modern Americas are. East Indians are not clones, like the so called "pure races".
