Response to: DNA Test Gives Students Ethnic Shocks

The article talks about how a few different people had their DNA tested to determine their ethnic backgrounds. The people they mentioned typically were surprised by the results of the tests, but a few of them mentioned that they would not let the results of the tests change who they are. I think it would be fun and interesting to have my DNA tested and find out exactly what my ethnic background is, simply due to the fact that I am curious. Like the people in the article, I would not let the results of my test change who I was or the way I acted. I do not think something like a DNA test should change the way you view people, who you associate with, or the way you act. With that said, I would also like to say that I think it is important to realize where you come from and to be proud of your heritage. I just think it is sad that some people believe that because they are a certain skin color or have a certain ethnic background, that they should only associate with people the same as them. I think that it is important to find the balance between the two.
