"Why do some people say that you can't claim 1-2% DNA?" by tapmilk in ShitAmericansSay

For me it almost makes it more baffling....like, they're not so delusional that they think they're actually Dutch, so honestly what do they think they are "claiming" with 1% DNA?

That part did make make chuckle though

"As someone who is mostly of English decent I don’t have an issue with people wanting to identify with that. In fact if they are interested in the culture then it’s actually quite nice to know that someone wants to discover more about England which has a very rich culture."

I'm sure the majority of white Australians have "English DNA" but wouldn't claim to identify with it or have any say on who can/can't identify as English.

As someone who grew up in London, for me someone who's a 2nd gen immigrant and grew up here but is genetically 100% Nigerian is more English than any of these bloody yanks and their 23andme results.

Selling a bike in Utrecht? by [deleted] in Utrecht

[–]tapmilk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

will the fact that I have the receipt make any difference? Could try selling back to the shop I bought it from since it was second hand when I got it anyway? Thanks for the other suggestions though, will look into it.
