How the hell can you be 98% Vietnamese, 1% Chinese and 1% Japanese?


A few generation ago someone in his family tree had a kid with someone who was half Japanese & half Chinese, that person makes up 2% of his ethnicity.  I'm not to good with percentages so I couldn't tell you exactly how many generations ago.  Actually I'll work it out...

X=Japanese/Chinese (person in the family tree)

Y=Vietnamese

half X once each generation as it is deluded with Y.

generation 1 = 50% (25% Chinese, 25% Japanese)

generation 2 = 25%

generation 3 =12.5%

generation 4 = 6.25%

generation 5 = 3.125%

generation 6 = 1.5625% (.753125% Chinese, .753125% Japanese)

DAMNIT!

Okay, so it wasn't one person of different race entering the tree but rather two or more perhaps of mixed race.
