Why do half "extreme SE Euro" people lose their MENA affinity on DNA tests?

[Sikeliot]

Half Sicilian/Cretan, half NE Euros lose their MENA affinity.

See this guy, half Sicilian from Palermo and half British. Where did the MENA go? his full Sicilian cousin scored 41%.

It happens on 23andme and Ancestry too.

Up your ass.

Commercial DNA companies in general are garbage

Hmm. Ok. Can't say I look at many half North Euro/SE Euro results. That would be strange then. I know DNA is random and it's like one parent scooping out a cup full of random colored marbles from a bowl of random different colored marbles, but if dude's cousin got 41% (I assume this is not the actual SW Asian component) than he should at least got a significant amount, unless he is related to the parent of the cousin that has the least amount. But if it happens multiple times on separate tests, that might not be it. Hmm. Strange.

So many people say that MY Heritage is not accurate. It even shows Baltic for me, which I don't believe is right for me.
Not sure!

south euros have as much mena as north euros have mongoloid

some exists for both

Does this happen on Gedmatch tests too?

No.

[Bobby Martnen]

No.

Then it's probably some quirk of the test, and not that half-SE Euros lose their MENA DNA
