My point is that I think blood is a trivial association; in other words, I don't think your ancestors have as much to do with a possible connection to an ancient string of myths "and what it stands for and represents culturally" as do your own interests. It implies that, for example, a fifth generation pure blood German American immigrant has more 'claim' to Norse symbols than does, for example, a seventh generation German who is, by blood, wholly Russian and actually has an interest in the Norse culture.
I don't really know what I'm saying, but I think that the overall idea I'm trying to convey is that one's culture is more important than one's blood.
