Okay, a few things here might be worth pointing out.
First off, while this is General Off Topic, as a general rule of thumb, usually we only stick to having threads about recent topics, not 3 year old ones that hasn't had some form of new info show up.
Second off, as pointed out, the original article even updated saying that this was a misunderstanding overall, so not only is the topic old, but it's wrong.
Lastly, this just skirts the line of being a race/ethnicity discussion, which isn't allowed anyway.
So, on that note, closing this.
