 @efa2e20e Nothing at all. I’m just cranky about shit. Like I said earlier, you’re awesome. 

However, the ethnic group I most identify with is only a fraction of my bloodline. So another day, we can have a spirited, good-natured debate about nature vs nurture in American mutts. 
 @409e223d you can’t know for Shure without DNA test , I recommend doing it and learning the truth 
 @efa2e20e I have myriad reasons for not wanting a corporate dna test. My family tree and upbringing is enough. 

Here’s an americanish word for you that best sums up my demeanor: ornery. 
 @409e223d family trees lie: extramarital affairs, adoptions, mixups are all possible 
 @efa2e20e I am adopted. I know enough about one side of my bloodline and my adoptive parents’ to satisfy my curiosity.
