YOU CANT SPLIT GENETIC HERITAGE INTO BLOCKS OF 25% EACH
Why not? Do find it silly when people say they're a third something, but quarters work.
no..not really. genes are not inherited evenly, you don't have the same amount of genetic heritage from each parent.

Then why do people bother with saying they're half this, an eighth that?

cause..they don't know what they're talking about and it's easier to explain it like that, i guess.

How are people to otherwise know their genetic make-up? Not sure if this is what Zeg meant by his statement.

I don't really understand the question..
you're the mix of genes. not only from your parents, but further away too. so for example the face shape you have doesnt have to be exactly like some of your parents has, but mix of all the faceshapes in your family. other things, as personality, are not inherited completely, you just inherit predispositions, which can, but don't have to be evolved, depending on the habitat you grow up in. i guess you can't really know your exact genetic make-up unless you make a professional analysis.

That makes complete sense. Thought Zeg was making an argument of fractions related to lineage, but may have misunderstood.

i was also being specific. i am simply not 25% of this and 25% of that, simply cus theres more to the story than the 3 heritages i listed up. im under no obligation to explain my entire history to some pimply racist jackass who asks for it.

Spot on kaileen. Your genes come from your parents, but you also 'inherit' the genes from your grandparents on both sides (4 of which) and great grandparents (8 of which) and so on and so on. If someone from another race has interbred into your family, say a negroid, then you will have some negroid genes as well.

I understand that everyone has DNA reaching back to the dawn of human history, and that simply listing one's parents'
and grandparents' nationalities doesn't tell the whole story. It's just the "short answer."

I'm going to make some YT vids starring me, do you have any advice on what I should say and/or do?

I2 today is not i2 of yesteryear. It is a knitting circle. Those that participate be they nice or asshats know their place and the price to be there. Odeon is the overlord

.Benevolent if you toe the line.

Think it is I2 of old? Even Odeon is not so delusional as to think otherwise. He may on occasionally pretend otherwise but his base is that knitting circle.

Censoring/banning/restricting/moderating myself, Calanadale & Scrapheap were all not his finest moments.

Had a neighbor years ago who was a member of the hemlock society. She was very old; not sure if that's the way she went.

Hemlock society eh? Did she use cross stitch or just plain overlock?
