Telluride, it's not "distant." It's mom and dad. So please, "easily identify me," will you? Yes, that's right, mom from Thailand, dad from Iceland. I'm not asking about natonality here. Please tell me what my race so obviously is:_______________.
And you'd better get it right, goddamit. I had ancestral DNA testing done by the professionals in the field (the ones who had an article in National Geographic about this)--yes, the ones in my department getting National Science Foundation grant money in the millions (your tax dollars!) to research this shit--and I'm quite sure they are not going to fuck around with a bunch of internet strangers arguing about the validity of their goddamn DNA tests.
Guess what--NO ONE fits neatly into racial categories, because race doesn't exist!! woo-hoo!
I don't even know why I bother.
