this ad shows that they don't even know what they claim to be experts about.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=av9x4f9JYkc


in ad representing their company they have a woman who doesn't know the difference between nationality and ethnicity. she also tries to brag that she comes from all nations which is unlikely since I see no African in her, and no asian either. and there are 195 countries in the world. That would be very hard to have dna from all 195 of them. she needs to back up her claim with evidence

I've heard that they make shit up and claim you have, like African heritage or something. I wonder what their endgame is...

it's just interesting to them. white people always find it cool if they find out they aren't pure white.

What makes you think that race and ethnicity are only things you can see? There are many variants for example groups with certain dispositions to certain diseases that can be traced down to a common ancestor.

For example there is a disease that is prevalent in Scandinavia.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pseudoexfoliation_syndrome

If enough of these genes come from Scandinavia they will say with confidence that you have Scandinavian heritage etc.

that's fine but I don't believe this lady has DNA from all 195 nations. she's trying to claim she is "all peoples" and I don't believe her. she even checks "other" even though I bet there is one large chunk of her that fits a certain group
