yez, it's my bedtime but i am listening to latenight radio yet

that obsession is shared by some americans of certain ancestries too, so  not all americans are mutts

also: I did 3 independent DNA tests in 3 various companies and only 3rd shown that I am part Celtic only about 6% and that I might be Baltic  not purebred Slavic as I thought 

 @efa2e20e @409e223d many of us in America have purebred bloodlines that draw back to populations in small villages since the 1800s 

 @e0fcec40 @efa2e20e Yay for you! 

 @409e223d @efa2e20e it's not a great bloodline, but many of us have generational memory that I don't find in other parts of the populace 

 @409e223d @efa2e20e 

Hey, I'm 'Murican and I ain't no mutt, ½ Norwegian / ½ Irish, my Drunken Vikingness takes exception to that! 😁 

 @8b28c332 noice, very Nordic 

 @409e223d what did your friends and family do that’s related to my alleged obsession? 

 @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.
