There's the real question. What defines "racially pure". DNA is made up of tons of genes that give us our physical attributes.
For example, what is Caucasian? White people have black hair, brown hair, blond hair, red hair. It can be straight or curly.
Let's say it is only people with blond hair and blue eyes.
That's fine, but I know blond couples that have children with brown hair. so their genes must be "tainted".
In Japan families have been followed for generations, but there are non-Japanese that live in Japan and have for generations that did not reveal their non-Japanese roots, so even Japan surely has a "tainted" gene pool. And what we think of as the "Japanese race" is not even native to the islands of Japan. The native Ainu were in Hokkaido first.
Sorry for the off-topic discussion...
