I happen to have one quibble against what you said.

DNA policing has been tried and found wanting all through history, you said, no, all through ITS history it has been found wanting, but especially also on principle.

Fortunately, it has NOT been tried all through history.

In the Middle High German Parzifal or Parzival (it's pronounced f either way), Lancelot had another son, with a Moorish woman, the son of whom was Feirefiz ("fair fils" = fair son) ... who happens to be checkered in white and brown. Not very sophisticated about how DNA really works, but the point is, there was certainly no policing about it.

Equally, in Ancient Rome, Semitic and I think also "Subsaharan" populations were integrated (it was the former, not the latter who became an Emperor). No DNA policing there either. Racism is evil, but over history fortunately very rare. Just a shoutout to older centuries and their better morality! You are perhaps where I learned about Presley being Preslaar, and Disney is obviously d'Isigny ... no problems posed over foreign origins (OK, for d'Isigny, after Hastings, Anglo-Saxons weren't perhaps in a position to pose problems).
