DNA Testing Company Admits Giving White People Fake African Ancestry To Screw With Racist

LOL
I laugh but I want my money back. Bunch of frauds. LINK

I’ve always kind of wanted to do one of those genetic ancestry testing things. It just seemed kinda fun.
Well um… turns out not only is it TOTAL BS… they actually mess with people on purpose.
Bummer.
Inside Edition sent in the spit of a set of triplets. Cracked lets us know how it went:

But when Inside Edition had a set of triplets send their spit in to Ancestry.com and 23andMe, they got wildly different results from both services. Neither gave each triplet the same ancestry results — which, considering they all came from the same womb, is pretty weird.
Inside Edition found differences of over 10 percent between the triplets they tested. That is not a small gap. If you were off by 10 percent on a DNA test, you could technically be a mouse. Maybe it’s unreasonable to expect perfect accuracy from saliva you mailed to a lab. But a lot of people do anyway, and Morgan winds up dealing with their complaints.
Ok… so they’re not at all accurate. Whatever.
Turns out it gets worse…
The Cracked article then celebrates that the company throws “racists” off of on purpose by giving them fake results. Their source is “Morgan, who works for one of the major ancestry testing companies” so we don’t know which one….
Cracked calls it “elegant in its passive-aggressive simplicity.” I call it fraud. Tomato toMAHto!

If true, they are in deep shite but it is funny as hell.

So do you label your spit as "racist" or something?
Posted on 12/12/17 at 10:12 am to GumboPot
These "Get your DNA done ancestry" things are like the old Family Coat of Arms scams from 50 years ago!

Do I really have to explain to you what is going on here?

Imma send my dog's saliva in and see what happens.
She's a black lab. ETA: Sorry, African-American lab.

I think South Park should revisit this.

I guess the people that come out and are visibly upset that their DNA shows 3% African.
It's funny how it's always African too and not a region of Africa. Whereas when when it comes to Europe (which is a much smaller continent) they break it down in smaller regions (almost to the country level).

There was a poliboard poster, a few years ago, who used the service and was now claiming to be black.
I forget who that was.

My invisible nap sack has my family tree - don't need DNA services

My dad came back with 3% African and he is all white. Whereas he sent in his mixed race adopted son's saliva and it came back with no African DNA.

That’s if you use some shitty company’s DNA testing. A good one will tell you what region of Africa.
Tons of white people esp in the south have African DNA just like tons of black people have European DNA.
