What company? With 23andMe you just pay for the kit.
Same for Ancestry. I don't think he knows what he's talking about.

The other company straight up lied for SJW reasons - the CEO admitted that they fudged results to make people appear more culturally diverse so that they would be inclined to be “less racist.”
Can't be Ancestry. Apparently, I'm pretty damn white. According to them, I'm German and northern European with little deviation. Which I already knew but was curious to know when the kit was on sale.
Besides, the government has my DNA on file anyway. One of the first things I did when I enlisted and reported to reception battalion before basic was take a cheek swab.

Yeah, 23andMe didn't exactly try to make me look diverse either.

Q: "Don't be one of those conspiracy guys, how are they going to use your DNA against you?"
A: "They're not even 100% sure yet but there are a whole bunch of little wormy fricks trying to figure it out and I won't be one of their data points, no thank you."
Besides, I am 75% Sicilian which has been Phoenician, Greek, Carthaginian, Roman, Vandal, Byzantine, Moor, Persian, Norman, Catelonian, Castillion, Austrian, Bourbon and finally Italian.
What clarification will the DNA test of any Sicilian provide anyway?

If the insurance company can look at your future, and you have a gene that makes you more predisposed to heart disease or this or that, you are fricked.
That's a good point I hadn't thought about. There's no doubt medicine is trending toward DNA manipulation....it could be an interesting battle of marketplaces when healthcare comes up against actuaries at life insurance companies.

All the legality aside, I took one a few years ago and the results weren’t accurate. Either that or I was secretly adopted and my parents never told me.

How do you know they weren't accurate?
It's a pretty exact science, man.

I plan to do thorough research to find out the company that gives the most accurate ethnic background results. It might get pricey though, because 23 and me and about 10 other shite companies are gonna get cheek swabs from random beggars that.."just need 5 bucks for gas to get to work"..from me as well. Checkmate future Politburo.

A set of great grandparents and two sets of great-great grandparents were Ashkenazi Jews. Results didn’t show this.

Nobody likes to think about it but a single unfaithful spouse in your line can frick everything up.

That’s true. But going on the genealogy info I have, the results were off.

It’s just a little bit strange that I’m reading this thread and as I scroll down the 1st page, the ad at the bottom is for ancestry dot com. And it’s not due to me, I’ve never even clicked on a genetics site
