who do you think you are!?

That's the name of a TV show, Who Do You Think You Are. I've never watched it but it's about taking a celebrity on a genealogy tour of their family tree. I don't really care about celebrities so I'm not that interested in their genealogy. Regardless, it IS an interesting topic. 

YOU can even have your own DNA tested these days. I think that's an interesting idea. Whoever is testing your DNA can tell you where you're from. Do you have any ideas about your genetics? Do you think of yourself as a particular race? Would you be shocked to find that you're not?

This is a really fascinating article about that very subject;

Now, I have a pretty good idea what my heritage is. I might be surprised to find something different but I can honestly say, I know for sure that's it's more than I think it is! Geez. And if there was 4% African in my DNA, I wouldn't think that that make me black. It wouldn't change my perception of myself. What if it came back 28% Russian? That's really not gonna make me feel like I should understand or relate to their culture. I'm still just gonna be me. I know for a fact that I have native american genes, but that doesn't make me want to go live on a reservation. And it doesn't make me hate western civilization. Funny how people get so hung up on labels.
