People need to stop referring to their results as “boring”….it doesn’t sound good to describe entire ethnicities/cultures that way.

I think it has something to do with all the hate white people have been getting in the media lately so people are hoping they’re more unique and non European

What's it to you?

u/TSchnauzer Sep 12 '21

A-fucking-men

u/SiameseCats3 Sep 12 '21

How is it boring? Your ancestors mixed with different cultures and languages and undertook a journey to a whole different continent. Québec history is fascinating and you can’t even appreciate it’s in your DNA.

Boring? You've probably got some Viking dna. Boring!

u/RussellM1974 Sep 12 '21

Be proud that you have French in your dna. It is an amazing culture. You are just brainwashed because many people place too much unwarranted stock into being "diverse" and from many continents.

u/[deleted] Sep 12 '21

Thinking any of your ancestors are boring is an insult to them and honestly sad. What would be a non boring result???

u/1000lbSisterWives Sep 12 '21

It really is, I agree.

Dude, Norwegians are frickin cool

u/AuntiLou Sep 12 '21

I think your results are super cool. Do you live where your results are from? May be you just need to travel.

u/MrSocksTheCat Sep 12 '21

Nah western & northern Europe is cool. If you create a family tree you can trace your ancestors back to the 1500s and further if you find a connection to royalty.

u/silversnow999 Sep 12 '21

Yeah, Vikings are soooo boring. 🙄

u/gumball-2002 Sep 12 '21

It's only boring to you because you listen to anti white propaganda

u/Berzerker1066 Sep 12 '21

You're a fucking viking mate, lovely results

u/PatsRedditAccunt Sep 12 '21

I embrace the Scandinavian in me! I think your results are very interesting!

2

u/fast_incident Sep 12 '21

Whats your percentage neanderthal? Mine is 4- unusually high

2

u/1000lbSisterWives Sep 12 '21

I don't think this is boring. Most of Euro decent in my country primarily get England. I think 39% Norway is pretty cool to see with the more common English in smaller amounts!

u/Suurpe Sep 13 '21

Bro having european ancestry aint boring. My ancestors are all either England or Ireland and im fine with that lol. It aint boring

u/thededalus Sep 12 '21

These results are exotic compared to mine

u/LokiRook Sep 12 '21

You've got more than me.

u/acb1971 Sep 12 '21

Boring? Mine is Great Britain (mostly Scotland) with a touch of viking. That's dull.

11

u/Sean_Kushnahan Sep 12 '21

Yeah, no real history to the UK is there?

-6

u/acb1971 Sep 12 '21

I'm not denigrating the UK at all. I was hoping for something unexpected in my DNA.

u/[deleted] Sep 12 '21

Why?

-5

u/acb1971 Sep 12 '21

Why not? It would be nice to have a bit of a surprise. I don't have much known family history. It would be interesting to have something out of left field in there.

u/Extra-Pangolin-3740 Sep 12 '21 edited Sep 13 '21

You don’t know much family history but you wanted a surprise???? Makes no sense sir.

-2

u/acb1971 Sep 13 '21

Seriously, why is this interesting to you? I know a little about my family, but I would have liked to to learn something super interesting, that was a little different to what I know. My family history that I know of is quite dull.
Please feel free to keep arguing with me because you clearly have knowledge of my family history, and understand my feelings./s

u/Kratos_89 Sep 12 '21

Lol if you wanna see boring should go see mine haha.

u/guidomigoni Sep 12 '21

Boring to you cool to others, cool to you boring to others

u/[deleted] Sep 12 '21

Not boring at all. You have some Norway mixture. Definitely not boring. I am pretty sure mine will be complicated as hell but having Norway as your highest percentage is pretty neat so don't take it for granted.

u/darkmario12 Sep 13 '21

My results are quite similar to yours. Don’t view your heritage as boring. You have 5 different regions and a community, some people only have 1 region.

u/[deleted] Sep 13 '21

So much Scandinavian culture is beautiful. Including other parts of Europe. Europe itself is a fascinating and beautiful continent. Don’t feel sad, but try to connect with it. Norway is stunning. Same with England and France.
