In solving our socioeconomic problems, it is imperative that we dispel the notion of race. Ancestry tests provide an interesting dynamic that may do more harm than good allowing one of the most potent weapons of those who oppress the vast majority of people, possession of new ammunition.
Basic curiosity may be the reason we are rushing to get ancestry tests, but the results may create a false belief that the results make us different. And this is something that plays into the hands of the Plutocracy as it needs to manufacture nonexistent consequential differences to prevent us from seeing what truly differentiates us, class, the few that are robbing and extracting from the masses.

Whether it is a president, king, oligarch, CEO, they are known by their actions.
