Why are everyone listing like 50 results from DNA tests? I don't think that's what "ethnic background" means. 👀

@Nightwings For real 🥹
Bleed · 41-45, F
@Nightwings I find it hilarious how many Americans class themselves as Irish etc when they’ve never even set foot there 😂
Nightwings · 31-35, F
@Bleed To be fair it is very interesting, America's history taken into consideration. I would definitely also want to take a DNA test if I was them! =D

It's the kind that you're not allowed to be proud of.
@Bleed It’s okay to have pride, as long as that doesn’t translate to contempt for everyone else. That is doable. 😉

Miram · 31-35, F
Why is everyone listing bunch of nationalities like they are ethnicities?
@Miram ok.

@fun4us2b

The thing is, academically speaking, someone from Brooklyn might have the same ethnicity as someone from Queens.

And that's exactly similar to attributing your ethnicity to a country that only came to be established much later in lot of instances. Dividing areas can't really distinguish ethnicity..

I think the answers happen to be framed this way because most became disconnected from their origins. Amd perhaps less involved in this topic. Could be both good and bad. It requires a reflection of its own.

The disappointing part is just me joking for the record. You all enjoy your multiple nationalities, probably much needed in a world that often forget we all are the same.

@Miram More than anything it ties me to my childhood where my Grandparents were literally all "off the boat" and brought much from their home country with them...and now with time, barely any of that is carried to my son, but if you asked him (like me) will say he's Italian decent...yeah we are all the same - but it is nice to share things from our backgrounds that helped make us with each other too...
Keeper · M
@MayorOfCrushtown @MayorOfCrushtown so that's where your PP came from 😆

@MayorOfCrushtown

Did you have a notion of what your heritage was before taking the test and were surprised after learning the results?
