I still can’t understand to this day why it even matters where you came from instead of worrying more about where you are right now. This DNA garbage simply reeks of modern Eugenics where people are trying to claim superiority over each other
@YaaAsantewaa @shreddy_scientist one reason is diversity, but yes, checking that with DNA is stupid because it matters much more where you grew up
I agree which is what I’m saying, your DNA doesn’t matter, where you are now does and it’s better to move forward than getting hung up on the past otherwise we’re getting into Eugenics territory where people will claim land and territory based on their “DNA profile”, and I don’t want that kind of racist garbage
Apparently we’ve learned nothing from the past and it’s just repeating itself with a shiny new coat of paint
Well in my case I never knew my birth family or where I’m from.
So it’s not about feeling superior. It’s about having a slice of belonging.
It’s about Eugenics, nothing more
Thank you for telling me how I feel about something.
Nevermind, he/she probably has some inferiority complex oder his/her own heritage for some reason and now projects. Nothing wrong with trying to find out about ones „hidden past“, I did something similar with my family name and found some very interesting history.
Your welcome, sometimes it’s important to broaden your mind
KHHHHAAAAAANNNNNNN!!!
