    I’m talking about a self descriptor, not a genetic test. If a group of people self identified as “White”, what group would I expect to see.

        Yeah, it does. It isn’t a perfect descriptor and it varies over time. However, if you are taking about a group self identifying as an ethnicity that other groups could recognize, you could probably get a timeframe of a dance that they started to do within a few years. You’re obviously not going to get an exact date and time, but you can get an approximate idea in years as to when a dance when from not being done to being done.
