Why do Americans do this? You're AMERICAN.

The US is the birthplace of sin in the modern world and miscegenation is one of the big ones.
because may of us are dumb and this obsession with the minutiae of our DNA is a side effect of identity politics. it's like that stupid ass commerical they use "herp my parents were German and i grew up German, but muh DNA says I'm mostly Scottish so i now disregrad my entire childhood and formed a new idenity around information i just learned".
finding out about your genetic roots should be about mild curiosity, not a thing to make a persona around

Eugenism made Murricans obsessed with genes, but attachment to cultural identity makes more sense than attachment to genes (you're not supposed to know about the latter).

In the old days, a nationality was effectively a race. You could look at a face from one region and tell it was from that region without being told outright. It still is that way in some places, but that's going away now.
"AMERICAN" just means "MONGREL" in this regard. Furthermore, because of the implied racial make-up of the old European nationalities, and the known make-up of things like "Cherokee" you can know certain things about your genetic health by keeping track of these things.
Double-futhermore, people keep track of their "Native American" percentage for child-like romantic reasons OR to get money from the tribe.

only a turbo autists answer is American. Why shouldn't people talk about their race?

Not everyone does.
My ancestry is solely British.
Americans have a very small sense of cultural self because they're a relatively new country populated mongrels and/or rape babies.
They latch onto their many ancestral roots interchangeably as and when it suits them to try and feel a connection with related events and people to fill the hole of lacking a long and storied cultural identity. They want to belong so badly, they'll dredge anything up.
I'm a dual citizen of the UK and Ireland and I've never referred to myself as anything other than English. When I lived in the US I was constantly bombarded with wank about their direct descent from Gaelic kings, through their great-great-great grandad who came over from County Cork, or their English ancestor who was here since before the revolutionary war.
White Americans are just as bad, if not worse than the blacks about WE WUZ something.

It's interesting to find out where your blood came from and how it mixed to make you? Obviously we're American first but you Euros have such an old history that it's hard not to be a little jealous, and since we're mostly descended from you anyway it makes sense to want to learn more about our roots.

what we do is we lay out our 5-6 different heritages and then pick the one we like best.
