I think this is fake news - I’ve run this on me an my wife and can confirm it didn’t happen at 23&me.

Consider the source and comment on their history before posting.

But now think of all those minority only scholarships, jobs, and set asides that JUST OPENED UP!

This has me thinking. What's stopping anyone from claiming minority status? I don't believe there's any actual scientific, genetic verification involved.

This will be a growing issue as an increasing number of Americans marry outside their race. I have a cousin who is a ginger. She had a child with a light-skinned black man and her now teenage daughter looks absolutely white.

“What a horribly written article...”

I like the way you read - critically. Even something that may be supporting your side.

Many of us are so eager to prove the “other side” wrong that we often fall prey to the fake news dished out by our side.

I sense a class action lawsuit!

My sister had one of these bogus DNA tests run. It seemed to have missed our maternal great grand mother who was 1/2 native American.

Lying comes to leftists as easy as breathing and just as natural.

I’ve come to the conclusion leftists have no moral compass, no sense of right and wrong; only the agenda matters, and possibly for many; no conscience.

Yes. Yes it is.

This is sad.

Will a story from Mad be next?

“I have a good grip on my gender.”

That can be bad for your eyesight.

Don’t these companies really exist to get people to volunteer into a DNA database?

The Tribes do not accept genetic testing as proof of Indian Ancestry.

How do they decide which whites are racists that need to be screwed with?

Don't you know they've already solved that problem?

They've simply declared all white people racist! Problem Solved!

All this does not matter.

The 'out of africa' theory is endangered,

Lucy (5 mil years old) was the reference.
Now a 10 mil years old evidence from Europe has been found.
the new Discovery recently published :....
....Archaeology fossil teeth discovery in Germany could re-write human history
They most closely resemble those belonging to the early hominin skeletons of Lucy, famously discovered in Ethiopia.
But these new teeth, found in a German town near Mainz, are at least 4 million years older than the African skeletons, which has scientists so puzzled they held off publishing for a year....
