If your going to talk bad about me at least use exactly what I said. Your changing and manipulating what I said.
When did I ever say having Levantine or East Mediterranean dna is like having the cooties or something? Get it through your THICK SKULL I AM NOT A NORDICIST, I am actually very dark for an Italian, growing up and to this day people often think i’m Arab or Latino. What pisses me off is people who test their dna act mortified when they get anything from the Middle East whether its autosomal or uniparental markers. The fact is there is recent dna from the Middle East in Southern whether people like it or not.
Lol are joking? I tested on Nat Geo myself, also my uncle and 2 friends on Nat Geo. This is where I scored 29% Asia Minor and you created a big stink because you thought I was lying about my result. Southern Italians score well over 20% Asia Minor on Nat Geo 2.0 Next.
Again shows you pick and choose what you want to say, I excluded the Carthigians from my point, and the Severan dynasty was in context to explain my point.
But hey what else can I expect from a Fetusa like yourself.
First of all, I don't care which "foreign" Emperors you're discussing. They all became emperors the same way. It didn't involve, in
any of the cases you mentioned,
any migration of their ethnicity to mainland Italy. So, it's irrelevant in the context of explaining Italian genetics. Can you understand that? Only someone with an agenda would claim it is relevant, that or someone with no knowledge of the Roman Empire or ancient history.
As to your "genetics" arguments, such as they are, you may be just a naive Canadian with absolutely no understanding of the history or pre-history of his ancestors who has been taken for a ride by Sikeliot, also known as Portuguese Princess and other idiotic pseudonyms. Why the hell do you think he spent tens of thousands of posts trying to prove that southern Italians (and in the beginning all Italians) had more "Middle Eastern" than Iberians? If you think he did it because he thought it was a great thing to have I have a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you.
Perhaps you were open to their idiocy, and ignored the prejudice that he and his followers exhibit, if you knew of it, most of it being more cloaked now, because you have experienced some discrimination because of your appearance, and have decided to fight it by embracing what
you think it means. It's possible, I suppose. There are Jewish people who are the willing tools of Nordicists too, and Central Asians like Afghans, who are considered little better than animals by the Russians, but who spout Eastern European "Aryan" propaganda.
Regardless, I don't care how you justify yourself to yourself. The fact remains that you don't know what you're talking about. Your knowledge of Italian or world history and archaeology in general would fit into a thimble.
As for your Nat Geo results,
I was talking about the results of Northeast Italians. In your wildest imagination do you think you would have results similar to those of anyone from northeastern Italy?
I never mentioned southern Italians.
Angela: "
I would actually be quite surprised if someone from Northeastern Italy got results like these. Those are close to the results for Tuscans, but Northeastern Italians are quite different from Tuscans
Plus, I don't know which iteration of the test you took. Perhaps it was the old one which they replaced. I know there are southern Italians who have taken the most recent iteration of the test who get very low Asia Minor, not that it matters one way or the other to me.
I can't explain your results. I have no way of knowing the origin of your ancestors from Italy. I have no way of even verifying that you are indeed 100% southern Italian in ancestry. Maybe you're half Lebanese or other Middle Eastern. I've been burned numerous times thinking someone was legit, only to find out that he or she was not the person he or she claimed to me. On the internet, people can assume any identity they please.
Perhaps, if you're legit, you should be asking yourself why you want to believe that one particular set of results is the only correct one, especially since the company no longer stands behind it. Perhaps you should also remember that
some of those early results were based on an algorithm provided by Dr. McDonald, who was not a geneticist, and who included Ashkenazi Jews in the Middle Eastern/Asia Minor cluster. Any Europeans with ancestry similar to the "Non-Jewish" Ashkenazi ancestry would get part of their genome assigned to the Middle East. For God's sake, these are rookie mistakes. We know better now.
Or maybe, as I've pointed out,
these tests are all over the place and to rely on them too much makes no sense.
Azzurro: They probably changed the reference or sample population for Asia Minor.
Prove it. Prove that it isn't they finally took Ashkenazi Jews out of the Middle Eastern sample, where they never should have been.
Finally, it's one thing to question someone's knowledge and expertise, or their associations, especially if they are with noted racists. It's another thing to call someone a foul, filthy name. You're so lame, btw. You can't even get the slang Sicilian word spelled correctly. Yeah, you're some tough Sicilian.
There will, of course, be consequences. Temper, temper.
