> What's so important about an ethnicity that it has to be kept at all costs?

If you're from a country that has a great history and traditions, and you are ethnically related to that, then your DNA constitutes a cultural artifact, just like some carving in a museum in your capital city or a traditional folk song. Through ancestry, you are related to the people who made those things.

It would be stupidly inconsistent to preserve those other artifacts, yet to deny that your living DNA has value in connection with them.
