I still can't understand to this day why it even matters where you came from instead of worrying more about where you are right now. This DNA garbage simply reeks of modern Eugenics where people are trying to claim superiority over each other

Well in my case I never knew my birth family or where I’m from.

So it’s not about feeling superior. It’s about having a slice of belonging.
