Oh man, that reminds me, I was at Eve dinner and a woman who has been coming to my dad's dinner the past couple of years was talking up 23andMe which is now in Canada. Besides ancestry, she was saying that the test tells you all kinds of shit about how you metabolize caffeine, alcohol, what genetic diseases you might get, etc. She also said that you can give them a fake name so they can't track you.

I was intrigued after that, since some people have been a bit paranoid about letting the people who run these companies have your info...though I don't know how you could give them a fake name when your real name should be attached to basically any payment method you use.

You can ask them to delete all information about yourself

They say that the dna tube isn't labeled, which it isn't. There's only a sku number for it which they say is how they catalogue it. But your name is in their database, so they know you're in the database, but I assume they can't tell tell which is yours.

Then how do they send you the right results...?

To be honest, I would probably get it even if I knew for certain that they are going to have my info. If society gets to a point where it would be terrifying for someone to have that info on me, we'll probably be required to turn in a vial of blood or spit anyway, right?

My dad actually gave me enough money for Christmas to cover the test, so I think I will do it.

According to Razib Khan:

What genetics is showing is that in fact white Americans are shockingly European to an incredibly high degree for a population with roots on this continent for 400 years. If we removed all the history that we take for granted we’d be amazed that the indigenous peoples had so little demographic impact, and, that the larger numbers of people of partial African ancestry did not move into the general “white” population.

And Steve Sailer:

…whiteness in modern America turns out to be not very murky at all. These findings of 0.19 percent black and 0.18 percent American Indian are tiny numbers.

Think about your family tree back nine generations ago, which would mostly be in the 1700s. You have 512 slots in your family tree nine generations ago (two to the ninth power). The 23andMe numbers suggest that for the average white American, 1 of your 512 ancestors nine generations ago was black and 1 of 512 was Native American.

Here’s another way to think of it. If the average self-identified black is 73.2 percent black and the average self-identified white is 0.19 percent black, then the average black in America is 385 times blacker than the average white. That doesn’t seem very murky to me.

Look at how ugly and smelly niggers are. That's why.

Shockingly, people choose to mate with people that are like them.

A will add my support, and 99.9% European DNA to this position. Coalburners are destruction.
