How can races/ethnicities be pure when all genes are mixed and environments constantly change?

the most correct definition of race is "breeding populations separated in prehistory and adapted to different environments" (from Edward Dutton's new book on Race), this is not a statement concerning purity but relatedness and "genetic kinship". I think there should maybe be a term for this (purity misconception?), I think this stems from misunderstandings taught in school over what "race scientists" and Nazis believed.

Also, how can you tell mixtures (mulatto) if you didn't know the "pure" races (white and black).

Exactly this. It's a word I've never heard any modern person on the Dissident Right even use. (I could be wrong but I think it's either not true or an exaggeration that the NatSocs constantly talked about it either.) It's only brought up as a convenient punching bag by leftists because obviously to some degree all racial and ethnic groups are blends therefore for the left it's an easy 'gotcha' to say 'Ha you think this nation/group is pure what about the Hugenout immigration?????'.

The bottom line is that purity is not a pre-requisite for ethnic/racial self-determination and advocacy.
