this is kind of exactly why these tests are bullshit lol. they’re not accurate, they’re based on loosely aggregated data and fundamentally DNA cannot really tell us much about things like ethnicity and CULTURE
when my aunt got one done it said we’re Indonesian rather than Chinese. But like. my family has cultural ties to China we can trace back centuries. that’s what I grew up with. We have understood ourselves as Chinese for generations upon generations. I don’t really know much about Indonesian culture outside of what I’ve learned from friends. On a personal level, I have no connection to it at all. Is it possible my family has some degree of genetic connection to Indonesia? Sure, I guess? It simply doesn’t matter though. It would be absurd for me to call myself Indonesian and stop identifying with my Chinese culture just because of the results of one of these tests.
Which, btw, also applies to identifying as Native off the back of these results! That’s not how that works, folks!
For what it’s worth, my aunt’s results caused no turmoil in my family. Everything else was more or less what we expected, and all of us agreed the inaccuracies were silly and would not impact our lives at all
If i may add on to this, dna tests present a very racist view of how nations actually work. Like dna tests work under the assumption that each nation is all full of the same, im not sure what term to use here, ethnicity maybe? It ignores how a lot of countries tend to integrate many different ethnicities. Like there are multiple ethnicities in china that arent han chinese people. Are they less chinese then? There are ethnic han chinese people who lived in Malaysia going back generations, are they any less Malaysian? Dna test can only at best twll you who you share dna with, it as ndnbutch said, cannot tell you what your culture and heritage is.

I feel so insane about ai. I've had face-to-face conversations with people who use it for therapy, who use it to calculate the safety of pill interactions, who use it for all their emails and grant applications and legal documents and academic papers and finance sheets and for every single question they have about the world, and if you tell them about the ecological costs they just laugh and say "I guess I've used a lot of water." and I've been in multiple gatherings of 10+ people where I'm THE ONLY PERSON who doesn't use chatgpt. it's turning me into a ranting raving pariah, because how don't you people see??? why don't you understand??????? this bullshit didn't exist five years ago, you absolutely do not need it, and it is destroying everything
my friend just had an art show and they were communicating with the gallerist over email. They could clearly tell that the gallerist was using AI to respond to their emails, but just rolled their eyes and moved on.
and then on the day of the show, my friend asks, "where is the camera I requested?"
gallerist: "you didn't request a camera"
my friend: "I did, and you confirmed that you would have one here."
gallerist: "that isn't true."
and then she proceeded to pull up the email thread, and my friend could see that every single email they had sent had been summarized by AI, and that the gallerist had then had AI write a response to them based on the AI summary, and that the AI had detected that they needed a camera, and confirmed on behalf of the gallerist that they would bring a camera, but because the gallerist had offloaded the work of actually reading and responding, she simply hadn't actually made any note of it herself, therefore didn't bring it, nor did she even know one was needed.
so my friend had done all of this communication about their needs and expectations to be able to make the show possible, and the person whose job it was to read that information and get it done had simply.... not read the information and not done it. because AI.
Free the nipple! "but what if someone gets turned on??" people get turned on over like feet and beautiful summer days. we cannot live defensively.

eating #myballs !
i hate that diet culture means all the tasty drinks everywhere are loaded with stevia now. this isn't even a stance about health, I just think it tastes so fucking bad
stevia is cross-reactive with a common environmental allergen: ragweed! if you've been drinking your fun little drinky drinks & have been feeling off there's a chance you're actually allergic!
I can't have artificial sweeteners because they give me migraines. I can't have stevia because I have an anaphylactic reaction. this new wave of "make everything 0 sugar" coming back into fashion could literally kill me if I'm not careful. nothing is safe, nothing is sacred, if I'm getting a little treat, better check the ingredients in case they changed em! :)
*head in hands* it's like ragweed??? Ragweed?? Oh my god everything makes so much sense
Ty for sharing that I had no idea
