I really am sorry if by saying this i seem like an ignorant, insensitive so and so, but, seriously, if they can do the job, does the lineage really matter? As far as i can tell lineage such just be an initial pointer to how they might be, in the end, it should be how they are in practice that matters. For example, if you were a scientist with a father who had made certain discoveries in some field or other, then you might look to the son with a little curiosity and anticipation, but you wouldn't necesarily expect him to be a great scientist because his father was, it just might make you take a little more note of him. Moreover, his father being a great scientist, does not neccesarily make him a great one.

If you think about it, in some ways, if you rely on lineage so, you could compare it with racism, of sorts. Don't condem people if they don't know their lineage. Adopted children don't necesarily know there's, and as far as i know, that doesn't bias anything in anyway with whatever they do!

Again, apologies if this is a little bad.lol.
