this is literally just a fucking insult, he’s saying she has a growth disorder and she takes kindly to it?
African genetics
❌ (love how he’s memorized a gajillion european ethnicities and doesn’t know a single african one)
Cimmerian
❓she claims it’s accurate but only says she’s half Dalmatian and half Slovene. maybe 23andme told she was 0.8% iranic?
Haplogroup I-M438
➖ googled and this is literally just a group of meaningless genes most common to be people in the balkans, but very common throughout all of eastern europe (probably why she acted like he got slovene when he didn’t) and not uncommon in western europe and the middle east
Dalmatian (Croatian)
✅ wow a single one!
not like ethnic DNA tests aren’t pseudoscience that look for meaningless mutations (genetic noise that doesn’t mark anything nor manifest in any way) likely most common to a politically defined historic region yet never remotely matching it, often extending deep into neighboring areas and further. crazy how random genes don’t confine themselves to manmade culture zones 🤷♂️
not like ethnicities aren’t constantly shifting, vaguely defined, socio-cultural lumping of clines together in one of the most genetically similar species to exist (that just happens to have a diverse spectrum of phenotypes)
that’s a fun one because when they say that they don’t mean hungarian (unambiguously white) they’re specifically talking about the medieval magyars who were imagined as an ‘other’, non-white invading barbarian group. he’s saying she looks like she has turkic/mongolic unspecified asian ancestry. irl as a steppe confederation they were not a unified ethnolinguistic group of course but the ruling class called magyars whose language became hungarian were related to finns i.e. probably considered white by people without phds in racism.

so it’s actually wrong in two ways
