If this is true, I find this hilariously dumb as **** on the front office’s part.

“Let’s brainstorm here people! What kind of special games do we want this year?! Let’s get some ideas. Ken, about how you? What do you think?”

“I was thinking about maybe a Native American Night.”

“Brilliant! I love it! Maybe free hatchets to the first 1,000 in attendance too!”

lmao right? i'm not even surprised tho when you have still have teams like the Washington Redskins and the Cleveland Indians existing.

I actually had my genome sequenced. I'm:

54% West Asian
21% Arabian
17% North African
6% European
1% East Asian

I'm not really an expert on that ideology. But it has to do with a dominant culture profiting from a minority culture, thus further increasing the imbalance of power between these two groups.

In the West, it only applies to whites using things from other cultures. If a Mexican opens an Irish themed bar, the appropriation crowd would not object. They would object to the opposite.

Maybe @dalamon knows more. He's our resident leftist.

Meh. Then let some Mexicans open their own restaurants. If they’re not, then let whites or anyone else for that matter.

That 1%’s your dick.

Poor kid.

They have mormon night at San Francisco Giant games too from what I remember.

You guys remember, a lil while back, when the Orem Owls had caucasian night? Lol. Smdh

I wanna do this too.

I wanna do this too.

I used 23andme.com

It was $100, but that was a while ago. Don't know how much it is now. They send you a saliva kit in the mail, and you fill it and send it back.

We did one of those from a different company for our dog. It was very interesting. We found out he was half beagle and half Yorkie even though he is much bigger than a beagle but now his personality and looks make sense.

I've been meaning to do one of those origin thingies too, either via 23andMe or Ancestry.

It would be fascinating sequencing where someone from the Balkans are from-- that peninsula was the literal brothel of history for a 1000 year stretch, probably have genes stretching from the Iberian peninsula to Ulan Bator.

You'll definitely have a bunch of West Asian thru the Turks!

 

[Siro]

This is actually interesting. Turks are originally from East Asian plateaus, like the Mongols. But they have been extensively mixed with Middle Easterners and South Europeans. I wonder how much of their original East Asian DNA can still be recognized.

 

[Joe Bagadonuts]

I'm not. And I find that cultural appropriation stuff laughable.

White guys aren't allowed to introduce sanity into a discussion like this, so thank you for doing it.

I mean, I find this frankly fascinating-- I am so curious to hear how their front office celebrated "Native American Night" at this game. I wonder how many people in the stadium were actually indigenous, and I wonder how they went about celebrating this night for their fans. To me, the very existence of it sounds a lot like the textbook example of cultural appropriation that people would find problematic.

It bothers you that people would celebrate Native Americans? Seems like a very positive gesture to me. Would you prefer that people pretend that Native Americans never existed?

I'm:
73% Great Britan
12% Europe West
11% Ireland/Scotland/Wales
3% European Jewish

Practically all of my European is Mediterranean (half of it Italian), with only 0.3% North European. It probably happened back before the Levant was Arabized.

I'm confused about yours. Britain includes Scotland. Are you 73% English? Can they tell the difference between the English and other Germanic people? If so, then that's some amazing resolution on the test. I don't think they have that kind of detailed information for my region.

That's still worth it to me. How long did you have to wait to get your results?

I don't remember. 3 or 4 weeks.

 

[infection]

I did mine, but I forgot the results.

Lmao.

 

[Miggs]

I don’t give a **** enough about this to spend $100.

What if it included a month membership to your favorite porn site?
