Gloupipoo 1,619 Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 Ever since I saw ads on TV for DNA ancestry I feel like they are a tool to justify the "global village" agenda some people are trying to push. Am I the only skeptic out there? Idc if I have 30% Cherokee DNA, I probs have 66% lobster DNA as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aquamaraqua 4,293 Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 It'd be illegal if they disclosed your information without your permission. Depends on if you want to take that risk or not. I personally haven't tried any of those DNA analyses kits but I plan on soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gloupipoo 1,619 Posted May 21, 2017 Author Share Posted May 21, 2017 Idk how to organize my thoughts in written text rn but like I feel some people could use this as a justification like "oh yeah I am 22% Bantus I understand your poc struggle" like no bitch you is white and your parents are white and your gramps and great gramps too shove that 22% up your ass you ain't oppressed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lil Ayy Big Gay 8,172 Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 Do Americans really not know their lineage they need this Its weird cause I'm American (im first gen) but everyone from my family was born in the same country for ages Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Hamster Named Loneliness 3,680 Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 I want to get a DNA ancestry test done someday, just to see if I have any Chinese heritage no matter how small, since Vietnam used to be under Chinese oppression for about 1000 years and I'm just curious if any of my ancestors were Chinese. I know for sure that I'm Vietnamese though since my entire family came from Vietnam before I was born. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many people have found out that they're a certain percent of another ethnic group, regardless of them being American or not. Most people are a mix and that's just because the world is always changing and mixing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I feel that the bigger agenda they're pushing is that everyone is a mix (global village goals) and that serves as justification for fake poc sympathizers and millenial fodder "I am so unique I am 33% cree wbu?"

Rose. 4,207 Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 I like the idea of your heritage. It makes you appreciate cultures more. I just really don't like hearing i'm half this, this, that, and that. I knew this one girl who said she was Dominican and Indonesian. THERE WAS NO SENSE OF INDO IN HER, HER PARENTS WERE BOTH HISPANIC, AND THERE WAS NO WAY ONE OF THEM WAS A STEP PARENT CAUSE THEY HAVE FEATURES ON HER.

Akhuun 1,166 Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 No, I don't feel this way. Some people legit don't know what they are. Knowing their ancestry can make them feel more content, I don't think it has anything to do with "opression points". Plus, it can be very interesting. I'll probably buy a test kit one day just to confirm or refute my suspicions and see if I'm indeed a modern day Neanderthal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.Cole 3,516 Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 We are already a global village. I personally don't like the idea of sending my DNA so they can tell me how much percentage I am black or what continent I'm from and how much percentage it is. I don't trust how they conduct their data or anything to do with DNA. Call me weirdo, but they might use the DNA u sent to make a clone of you...u know dolly the sheep that kinda of shit. Holy shit, I really need to go to sleep man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puellarum generatio 3,628 Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 I honestly don't care about my ancestors. All I know is that I'm mixed as all my grand parents came from different countries. I don't think there's any bigger agenda, those dna things exist because people are willing to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sapphic 1,501 Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 I care about it because I want confirmation. Nothing would change about calling myself white, but ancestry is a big deal for a lot of people and I want to make sure my grandparents are telling the truth lmao. Do Americans really not know their lineage they need thisIts weird cause I'm American (im first gen) but everyone from my family was born in the same country for ages I wouldn't be too secure about that. As evidenced by The Try Guys no one is 100% one ethnicity (Eugene isn't 100% Korean). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peach Macaron 1,979 Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 TBH i would want to know what else I am. I mean I know my family is from Mexico, and we're all Mexican, but I wanna know what else is there y'know? I mean there's probably some Spanish in there somewhere, maybe something indigenous but like, what else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
