I don't think they try to obfuscate anything, they say right on the tin that the DNA lineages are just based on where other people with similar DNA are living today. It's why you gotta dig deep into the haplo groups.

Also the ancestry assignment is only as good as the data that's there to compare to. They can get pretty good calls on a bunch of European lineages because they have fucktons of data from people from those regions. Other populations, not so much. Many smaller communities are, rightfully, quite reluctant to hand over genetic information, so testing companies don't have a good idea of what their lineages look like

Its where people with similar DNA are living today, but with guesswork and adjustments to fit with expectations, which is where a lot of the differences come from.
You know where there are lots of people with DNA similar to yours? Where you currently live. But if you are doing DNA testing, that is not probably what you are looking for.
A few years ago, a lot of people were finding out they were scottish. And the reason for that is that these companies decided to separate the Scotland reference group from the England reference group. Are they really distinctive to matter? Who knows. Because that is not what it was about. Lots of white americans really wanted to know if they were scottish or irish so they separated the samples. So the sample size for the scottish comparison panel has like 1700 people for ancestry.com. Meanwhile, the sample for India has like 200 people.

libs are libbing bc protestors booed & interrupted the great jerry seinfeld at duke's commencement.

Jerry Seinfeld’s speech at Duke University was announced and it was immediately drowned out by “free Palestine” chants.

Newsflash: Just because someone is Jewish doesn’t mean they are against peaceful Palestinians.

Stop being ignorant to the point of hateful bigotry. It just shows how ignorant you are.

They're absolutely wrong to boo him for his Zionist beliefs right now. It's clear to anyone that the more pressing threat is his filmmaking.

I know, it really goes beyond everyday pro-Israel (pro-genocide) stuff, and crosses into active sicko territory. Why does he even give a poo poo? Go back to making terrible movies and whining about kids these days while seemingly everyone else in comedy is doing fine.

Also, Seinfeld started on his whole "PC gone mad on college campuses" shtick because college students did not laugh at this joke specifically:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4TKBH61GtK4

The same year he complained about college campus crowds being too PC, Daniel Tosh (of "rape can be funny" fame) won the "campus comedian of the year" (or something like that) award.

My mom / aunts totally repeated the "our great grandmother was dakota" poo poo all the time when I was a kid and I have no idea if they still claim it but I figured it was bullshit pretty early and my sister did a DNA test and confirmed we are not infact any part native american in our family lol

Same on my dad's side (no DNA test, but I'm pretty sure it'd be nothing just like your sister's). IIRC you're also from TN, right? I feel like the "native american ancestry" myths are exceptionally common in this general area.

On the upside, it wasn't frequently repeated. I don't think I've heard it mentioned since I was a kid.
