How can DNA even matter? Is a German or Pole or Czech whose grandparents were of the Jewish faith or who moved there from India or Vietnam less of a German or Pole or a Czech?
If DNA tests were more popular in Poland (rather than feared) a lot of people would find they're a mix anyway.
And yet....there never was only a "We", there have been at least 8 different human species developed down from this tree...Homo heidelbergensis, Homo luzonensis, Homo habilis, Homo naledi, Homo floresiensis, Homo erectus, Denisovans, Homo neanderthalensis and now "We" Homo sapiens! (Not to mention Homo rudolfensis, Homo ergaster, Homo antecessor, and Homo longi (Dragon Man)
There might be found more...there might be other species following us....I don't like this egalitarianism, it is also so contrary to the usual left demand for "diversity" anywhere else.
Why not acknowledge that there are different heritages, and that it hasn't to be something bad at all?
Hilo Sapiens will eventually evolve into something else. That's a long time away though.
different heritages
Thousands of cultures and all good. And with mass population movement from the 18th century onwards and only increasing, the culture you have now is generally more important than any other factor.
After all, a Pole with roots in Vietnam is still a Pole, a German with roots in Anatolia is still a German and a Scotsman with roots in Bangladesh is still a Scotsman.
Unless American-style identity politics wins and we all end up divided and divisive.
f DNA tests were more popular in Poland (rather than feared) a lot of people..
That where you are wrong, Myself, my family, every Pole I know, after ancestry testing comes up as 99+% Slavick. ancestry testing is very popular is the US
There really is a problem growing, as I see it....for a long time a nation was nothing more than a tribe, a family becoming large....now, with so many different tribes occupying the same nation-territory there are of course frictions, some understandable and necessary and some not. But to deny them, or force to ignore them is not making go away...

It's not a sustainable model in the long run.
You gain a bit of good feeling from virtue-signalling political correctness, but lose out on social cohesion, increased crime, declining housing affordability, pressure on public services, and a lot of unrest without easily predictable consequences.
Obviously nobody wants some sort of nationalistic fantasy world. Just let people live their lives, intermarry and stay far away from identity politics.
Yes, for 50 bucks 30 years ago they wrote to me that my lineage dates back to the 13th century. So what, apart from the fact that I have the paper in a frame?

Muslims are the reasons Christmas Markets, Churches and Synagoges have to be secured with bollards nowadays....yeah...the similiarities with Jews and Gypsies are glaring!
@Bratwurst Boy Polyethnic polities have been the norm in human history for the past 5000 years.
The contrary conception of ethnic singularity in a polity is an ideological construct, associated with 19th c. Romantic nationalism, that never really matched reality in Europe. The problems come when one group decides to dominate the others. Christian demonising Jews, gypsies etc led to disaster. Mass and effective ethnic cleansing à la the USA leads to a soulless but financially successful entity because that's the one unifying thing they have.
The problems come when one group decides to dominate the others
....or with other words: when one group doesn't give a *** about the common rules in that nation they immigrated to!
The homies are allowed to defend themselves against said group, they don't have to take it and just accept it for not wanting to be called "racists" or "nazis"!
