If race is just a social construct, then does that mean that

If race is just a social construct, then does that mean that ancestryDNA is a scam? Cuz I really want to find out if my grandmother was actually part Native or not.
>>
ethnicity is not race
race is an invented category to group people based on non-scientific methodology of geography or whatever

sure you can find out but what "race" do you want to be? know what i am saying

I know that race and ethnicity are different, I'm just confused about how all our DNA is basically the same, but it's...not? Like, if there is no such thing as race, then how can our DNA tell us where we come from? Also I already know I'm a mutt, I don't care what my "race" is, I just want to know if my Grandma was part Native or not cuz someone told me she was. I'm just stupid, I've never been good with science. Pls help

race doesn't tell you where you are from, not more than genetic groups

so the race for native is just american india but your genetic marker will tell you the specific type

so race is a pointless consideration

>ancestryDNA is a scam
pretty much, i read a book with a whole chapter taking their tests and results to pieces and shaming them. it was either called bad science, or something like the story of all us.

Is dog breeds' classification unscientific too?

>>75730430
Race is a common phenotype of some people who live in the same area, if you think that human of Nordic phenotype can appear in India of black Drawidi can appear in Finland you're retarded.

So... Bill Nye is exactly like the FOB Pajeet that just arrived, hoping to take an unsuspecting white girl? NEWS TO ME!
>>
>>75730491
the racial categories are too broad

nordic is the same as other european
they are just caucasian

sure nordic phenotype exist, but the say i take dog breed from europe and called it the "european" dog that's not scientific
>>
If you find out you're not part native i'd be happy to put some native in you
>>
>>75730393
You don't get it. The categories that we call races are based solely on appearance and they vary wildly based on a person's beliefs.

With DNA we have other, more scientific, categories that don't always overlap with "races"

That's what "There are no scientific races" means.
>>
>>75730542
That doesn't mean that whites and shitskins don't have different DNA.
>>
>>75730248
I can't believe such an educated man would say that an australian aboriginal subhuman is the same as an average anglo-saxon
what a faggot
Also it's not just the color of the skin, it's all the body, but whatever
