Okay, as a Bajan, I have to ask: why the hell does this page exist?? Bajans are Bajans and do NOT need to submit to the unscientific and obsolete sorting of genetic myths. Barbados was a major slave colony for over 300 years and, like most such places, the vast majority of its population are of mixed descent (including many who may pride themselves on some kind of genetic
purity but for whom a DNA test might provide a well-deserved shock!). But if it's decided to keep this page, I'd suggest adding pages for "Afro-Asiatic Barbadian", "Niger-Congo Barbadian", "Nilo-Saharan Barbadian", "Khoisan Barbadian", and "Austronesian Barbadian". I would point out that, despite the variations at the phenotype level, modern genome studies suggest that many of these five groups are more closely related genetically to whatever is meant by "White Barbadian" than they are to each other! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nuggetkiwi (talk • contribs) 13:26, 18 October 2018 (UTC)Reply
