They're complaining because a UMAP shows genetic similarity: so that map shows that those culturally identified as European, East Asian, African, etc., are more closely related to one another genetically.
What a surprise! /s

Which apparently is the objection to the chart. That it is designed in such a way as to conceal the true extent of intermixing.

“ race and ethnicity are social constructs that do not have a basis in genetics.”
This is true enough.
We knew races before genetics.
And races change. Irish and English, for example, were separate races. Or a “black” American may be 80% European. How is that the same race as a South East African?
Of course there are genes associated with traits we use to define race. They are a minute percentage of the total number of genes we have.
Given this, the pc woke liberal cries are still absurd and irrational.
The left define and try to pinpoint and enforce race more than anyone.
To them it’s a surrogate for certain Marxist constructs that can be applied to the US and the world.

There is a religion that there is no difference in any attribute between sex and/or race. Any differences can only be explained by sexism/racism.

It's not like political correctness creeped in to genetics recently. This was the first field where PC reigned supreme. There is this term called "race realism" which if believed by you, labels you as a racist.
Imagine that believing in something real is a sign of bigotry.
But then those who believe that there are two sexes have also been labeled as bigots.

We are losing real, objective scientific skills at an increasing pace, and it’s beyond frightening.

Corrected for everybody.

My daughter and her husband did a DNA test just for the hell of it. The results for her were pretty much what the wife and I told her although the Native American was higher than what I thought the wife had which surprised her too.
To date no kids I didn’t know about haven’t been checking in 🤣🤣🤣

Classification is very arbitrary. But it helps us to categorize and understand the world.
EVERYTHING THESE PEOPLE SEE IS RACE.

The left lost their sanity a long time ago.
Democrats have led the way in calling anyone and everyone a racist for hardly any reason at all. Democrats, you know, the slave holders, members of the slavery party, author of Jim Crow laws and supporters of the KKK. Democrats, the people who segregated the races in America and now the authors of raced-based preferences. Those are the people who accuse everyone else of racism.

That’s the funny thing.
They’re the ones obsessed with race.

This graph tells me that Whites are the most diverse race, all by themselves.
Of course the race hustlers won't like that at all.

When a scientific result disproves a leftist dogma, that result must be discredited, disregarded, or silenced.

My own adventures in DNA testing showed me what an absolute mutt I am.I am extremely skeptical of the skewed, biased, and "politically correct" interpretations of the test findings.
