my dad was adopted back in the day, back when adoption secrecy was serious business

so i sprung for a pretty affordable dna test of my fathers side

just got the results back and GUESS WHAT im really, really mexican. i had no idea.

i think it's kinda cool, now that it's sunk in, at first i was just fucking shocked, because i'm a straight up pale ass WASP

i did it thru a website and for the paternal test they were running a promo where it was only like 40 bucks.
obviously this science is still in it's infancy, in terms of the everyday consumer.
cool thing about the website i decided to go with is...unless someone chooses to opt out, you get to see the name of your dna matches who are registered there, and also they list the oldest known relative.

i have 21 matches on the site, 8 of them have latino surnames. all different names too. and they all appear to originate from mexico.
the oldest known relative of those 8 goes back to the late 16th century.

trippy stuff man!

now that i have a bunch of names, i can go on ancestry.com and see if i can make sense of this.

i feel like the lead actor in that new hbo show Family Tree.

Perhaps it's time to start a road trip through Central and South America?


Seriously, though, that must be a strange feeling.

south american women are hot as fuck so im down

Been lying to the Census Bureau for decades, Uncle sam is gonna come get me.

Goddamn minorities trying to pass themselves off as the authentic article.

But f'reals, tons of gorgeous womenfolk live in Venezuela, Columbia, and Brazil.

Not that there aren't tons of gorgeous womenfolk everywhere, and that it's really what's inside that counts anyway, but Dayum!

Dude you're telling me, now i gotta do the 13 years of US citizenship shit. Gotta learn english and memorize the pledge of allegiance and shit. I can barely read and write. I do all this posting via voice recog

My mom's English, and got her US citizenship when I was maybe 7 or 8.

That test is no joke. I don't think most people who made it through a high school education could pass it.

So you like Tacos more today than yesterday??? I like Tacos...

In high school, my U.S. government teacher made the entire class take the test on the first day of class...and we all failed
