It doesn't matter to anyone who's actually use the word "colonizer". If you're visibly of European descent that's good enough for them.

I loved how he poked fun at so many of the DNA reaction videos. People read way too much into some small region they may have ancestors from. Or how a large region supposedly affects their personality or taste in food or whatever. It gets ridiculous.

genetics do play a role in taste tho, look into cilantro.
Sometimes one wonders about the history knowledge, like when Americans with parents from Latin America are shocked to have some Iberian peninsula, some, some African and some Native American... One would thing that shouldn't be totally unexpected. " Ibreran... what is that?! mom, I'm not white! I thought we were Spanish!" EDIT: Sorry Americans! I know most of y'all know a lot more, that was the worst case. :) No offense! But the video was funny!
ohh no, I literally checked this DNA results video yesterday, and I was thinking about your reaction, I'm not kidding lol
That was fun, specially with your reaction in combination.
DNA tests only go back about 8 generations so he could be something other than European before then.

You wanna know how many US-onians of European ancestry have larger percentages of German?!! lol, More than you think, I would personally say 60-70% of European descent in the US are of German ancestry, I myself am at least an 1/8th, my great-grandmother was fullblood German, though she was born and raised in the States, she was from a town where basically their whole village in Germany immigrated to the States but kept everything German in the town and rarely if ever married and had kids outside the community (my great-grandmother was one of the first), and they WERE NOT AMISH!!!! I Swear they weren't, lol
😂 I already was a fan of both of your channels. Fun video.
This was the funniest reaction ever 😂😂😂
But he wasn't sarcastic at all, he was just being humorous!
He was spot on he is.
The good thing about the Germans is that they fought against slavery in the United States. Not to mention, a lot of popular American beer brands like Yuengling, Budweiser, and Miller have German roots.

My heritage got my saxon-german genes the other way round. I'm German from Saxony so my genes are from the people that went over to England as Anglo-Saxons. So they said I'm 70%English😅. No it's the opposite the English are 70% my germanic folks. Ancestry got it right though. They detected even the correct region. The rest of My heritage was also correct.
I did 23 and me and got very general results (British isles and Scandinavia etc ). I redid my test with Ancestry and got detailed DNA results which matched with my documented history. One surprise was 21% Irish showed up - I always thought my father was 100% Scottish. People used to say that I look Irish, but I dismissed it thinking that they confused my Scottish with Irish. Well more research found that my paternal grandmother was Irish on both sides. My paternal grandparents met and married when in service to the Laird of Butte (Western isles, Scotland), but all Esther's ancestors came from Ireland during the potato famine 1850's. I love how DNA supports and reveals family history. Thanks for a funny video
That was fun 😂

Why do none of these people even question the concept of "ethnicity"? Why do they repeat the marketing line "where I come from"? Are we all now just mindless consumers without any ability to ask hard questions?

His ethnicity is blindingly obvious, Caucasian. White. There is no fixed location due to migration over millennia with associated Haplotype shifts. I, too, am North Western European 99.8% recently from the British Isles, say, at minimum 1000 years, and Europe at least 10,000 years.

These tests, of course, rely on self-declaration. 23andMe says I have ancestry in the city I live in because I told them I'm from there (which isn't the same as having ancestry there)!
Wow! I'm surprised that he got communities for Italian and Ashkenazi Jewish, even though both of those ethnicities are under 2%.
I should do mine. I have pretty much traced a lot of my ancestry back hundreds of years. I KNOW where most of my ancestors have been for the last thousand years or so. I wonder if those tests would get it right.
I'm 100% a Celtic/North European 'American'. I ended 400 years of colonization by emigrating to The Netherlands.😅 stopping the cycle!

No, "Caucasian" is an old and outdated racist term (as in used by "racial science") that people need to stop using. In reality it only refers to people from the actual Caucasus (Georgia/Armenia/Azerbaijan etc), which 95% of white people are not.
So funny.
I’m 98 percent brush isles , 2 percent German
Human ancestors were all colonizers. People have always moved from one place to another, looking for a better place.
More interesting with family trees with NAMES and in many cases occupations from churchbooks and tax registers in sweden. My family have a tree spanning almost 700 years back and my family is mainly swedish norwegian and some danish blood and mostly military and merchant. dna is the lazy ppls thing..

As suspected...you are dwindling DNA tests down to their most genealogically insignificant portion - ethnicity admixtures. If people only use the ethnicity admixtures, then that is lazy. But at the same time, your argument is lazy, because you aren't taking into consideration the DNA matches and how that has completely changed genealogy.

The test results are only as good as the database. If countries like France don't allow DNa testing the results will be squiffy.

Just to be clear, ethnicity says nothing about your skin color. The DNA companies can't tell from someone's DNA what skin color they have, let alone know the colors of the millions of ancestors of everyone who gets tested. That is impossible! Over the centuries, people from all walks of life have migrated to all corners of the world, regardless of color. Those people lived, ate, slept and mixed together. Nothing has changed in current times. Colonization and slavery have always existed, they were tribal and religious wars. It had nothing to do with black or white at all. It wasn't until 400 years ago during colonial times that skin color became important in America and South Africa. Europe itself has always been (and still is) a melting pot of people with all kinds of skin colors, religions and cultural backgrounds. People will have to do more research than just looking at a DNA result that only goes back to 7 generations (= 128 ancestors). Your DNA matches and genealogy can provide clues and insight into kinship and ancestral bloodlines
