What's boring about being white? Sorry, but this attitude strikes me as being nonsense political correctness. I'm quite sure that whatever race or culture your ancestors come from, there's plenty to be interested in on a personal level at the very least.
- prawn 16y agoPerhaps that they feel white/boring and that their lineage traces to more of the same. An Asian person might not be particularly excited to learn that their ancestors trace back through China. Candidate one, however, might be more intrigued to find ancestry tracing through Northern Africa, or candidate through India - just guessing.
- Sticker 16y agocorrect, I believe that was the obvious point he was trying to make. The political correctness that is a problem is that you can't say 'white/boring' without offending someone like the person you responded to.
- tibbon 16y agoRight on. When I got those results it just confirmed, "hmm, looks like my 5th grade genealogy project was right. I am from Germany and England afterall!" It isn't to say that us white people are boring, but just that there was nothing novel in that part of the results. It was about as exciting as the genetic test in there that confirmed I have brown eyes. If it said I had blue eyes, it would have been interesting news to me.
