    America is a lot of people from different places settling in one continent. lots of people care about what their family history is. I’m not sure what’s weird about that.

    there’s a lot of people with bloodlines from different parts of the world in every country. it means something to some people. not everyone, but quite a few.

    that particular phenomenon is everywhere.

      No, it really isn’t much of a thing for the rest of the world. You’d never see someone from, I dunno, Poland saying they’re Irish because 23andMe says they’re 2% Irish.
