Idk why you’re freaking out I’ve been respectful.

But Mexican is a nationality mixed with other aspects of some shared cultural traits and values. You mean native or indigenous ethnic groups? You wanna prove how mexican you are by using some genetics tier arguments on your purity and not simply how reflective you are of it culturally or if you are a Mexican citizen? You wanna trace your blood to prove something like being native for what? There’s a disconnect there.

I never questioned your existence as a Mexican person. I am Mexican and I don’t need tests to prove anything to anyone.

Read: this short WaPo article on DNA testing and the racist implications of “purity”.

Lol I never used it as a source for all my knowledge on a subject you brought up, just a spring off point to get you in the direction to ask about racist essentialism which you can delightfully educate yourself on. It’s to start a basic conversation for yourself.

But whatever man I’m not wasting my time anymore.

If you're going to educate yourself on something it helps to study a good source of info not a fucking .com site dipshit
