I am very anti-family, yada yada, but due to adoptions and migrations in my family, I’m not sure who I am ethnically. Ethnicity doesn’t matter, but I wonder how much migration there was in the people who kindly donated their DNA to create me, a person who’s lived in multiple countries (escaping homelessness, not the rich way). I’m doing the DNA test to run it through all databases I can for doctors, but apparently there’s also databases for ancestry. I have no ethnical or national identity, but I’ll be happy to use this to have a response to people asking where I’m from without having to explain too much. It would be cool to learn something unexpected, but I expect the most expected. I hope the results come before my doctor visit. ^ ^’

    Strongly reccomend against doing this. It will be used against you and all of your descedents by cops, governments, insurance, and god knows who else, forever. You can burn your fingerprints off, change your hair, gain weight, and wear contacts but you can’t do shit about your dna.

    I got one of those done (Chrimbo present) and it told me I was 99% eastern European. No real breakdown of Russian vs. Ukrainian, sadly (although it said I had markers of both so…)

      You can’t break down the genetics of eastern europeans. The vast majority of them all have the same genetics, no matter how much they might hate that. You certainly can’t make any kind of distinction between Russians and Ukrainians, which is great because it propably drives the banderites insane.
