@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
