It kind of blows my mind that people are so nervous about finding out what ethnicities are part of their DNA. I'm so used to thinking of myself as a mutt (mom was a little bit of everything), and a strong proponent of evolution (we all have a common ancestor) that while I would like to have my DNA examined, if there were any major surprises in there, it wouldn't affect me much. But as long as it helps promote tolerance, it's a good thing.
