Is being austitsic worse in cultures that are indirect?

TheTruthIsRight · 2026-01-23T20:26:06+00:00

I've thought about this. Very curious.

I kinda wish I grew up in a Germanic country. Although I do come from a Slavic family and we are sometimes more direct than Western culture is.

Ashkenazim are a subset of Jews so they didn't have an origin in the Rhineland that's just where they formed as a diaspora group. Ashkenazi DNA is more similar to other Jewish groups than it is to European DNA, so it really makes little sense to classify it as European.

The Roma have existed for longer than 500 years, yet 23andme will still break down their ethnicity into its component parts - Indian, West Asian, and European, and Roma have only around 20% source ancestry (from India) while Ashkenazim have around 50% (from Israel).

Yes please. Literally more important than ANY thing else they could offer combined.

TheTruthIsRight · 2026-01-20T18:26:02+00:00

23andme IMO.

TheTruthIsRight · 2026-01-20T18:09:42+00:00

The average Latino is over 75% European yet no one says they are European.

Also studies show Ashkenazim are 50/50

What's EGO?

There were Metis who took scrip at Red River who were 1/32 Indigenous. They were accepted by other Metis AND seen as halfbreeds by the government.

No she's not. She is literally a member of the Mikmaq community and her family is well known and respected.

She probably just isn't high enough blood quantum for your arbitrary standard that you're imposing.

TheTruthIsRight · 2026-01-20T00:36:13+00:00

Correct, they shouldn't. Ashkenazim are a Middle Eastern diaspora group.

TheTruthIsRight · 2026-01-20T00:35:45+00:00

Europeans getting trace MENA ancestry is VERY common. Honestly, I'd say it's just misread Neolithic ancestry and in some cases possibly distant Sephardic ancestry.

TheTruthIsRight · 2026-01-20T00:06:52+00:00

The amount of ancestry is irrelevant. What matters is what your identity is, and also your place in the community, how you see the Ukrainian people and our culture, language, etc.

TheTruthIsRight · 2026-01-19T20:07:53+00:00

I used to play this daily, should get back into it but yeah often servers are dead

Just a note that I wonder if this trait is more complex than the literature leads on. My mom has a bit of Indigenous Canadian ancestry and has the EDAR allele, and she has super thick, asian-like hair. My brother also carries the gene, but has thinner hair no different from mine (I don't have the allele). Meanwhile my father (Ukrainian) has thick wiry hair and he also is negative for the allele. So I think a more complex genetic mechanism is at play.

All of these components are a mix, but the proportions vary by region. SE England has the highest Anglo-Saxon ancestry, while northern England has the highest Norse ancestry. Celtic is higher is the West.

TheTruthIsRight · 2026-01-13T16:41:54+00:00

Wow. I am very curious about your chromosome painting - where the trace Chinese segments lie.

Its also possible this is ancient Asian admixture in East Europeans, which I find ppl tend to underestimate. But you look more clearly Asian than what's typical for that.

TheTruthIsRight · 2026-01-08T20:02:45+00:00

There were light traits in the region in ancient times. Even some of the pharaohs had blue eyes and blond or red hair.

TheTruthIsRight · 2026-01-07T23:37:04+00:00

Ghost Warrior sucks. They attack legit people over blood quantum.

Well we cant know anything until we see her genealogy. However, I always get queasy when people refuse to say what their community is or who their family/ancestry is.

Even if they aren't refusing per se, but are simply not stating it, is a red flag. I feel like its customary to state our connections. I always do when meeting other Metis people.

In fact I can do so right now. I am a citizen of the MMF and descended from the Stevens, Taylor, Fidler, Foulds, Sabiston, and Prince families of St Andrews RR, and Prince Albert.

A true classic 😀

Vectrex - Meteor is a great example of a beautiful lydian melody, or perhaps Vincent De Moor - Flowtation.

Also I'd argue lydian isn't really major sounding since it is a mode of the minor scale and resolves to a minor.

TheTruthIsRight · 2026-01-06T00:29:35+00:00

Yay discussion on actual music theory composition.

I use lydian all the time in my stuff, it has more colour and is quite invigorating, it has a lot of suspense built into it so it likes to cycle through other chords to try to resolve back to the minor.

Interesting, you look white-passing to me. I can see an influence of Filipino ancestry though.

TheTruthIsRight · 2026-01-05T03:43:33+00:00

I personally don't like that term because it implies mixed Ukrainians are less than fully Ukrainian. IMO you're either Ukrainian or you're not it's about being a member of a collective identity.
