Do you agree that DNA tests cannot determine one’s ethnicity but can only estimate it?

Interesting.

I can gave example of my family and cousins, that are all ethnic Serbs from todays Croatia, who arrived to Serbia because of last war.
In these period of 30 years, most of my cousins married to Serbia Serbs, my sister marry to a Serb from southern Serbia.
My parents who were in their thirties when arrive, switch completly in ekavian dialect spoken in northern and central Serbia, a bit different to our native ijekavian dialect of Serbian language.
We instinctively wanted full integration into Serbia.

Okay, but all what you describe is within the same people (ethnos). What "Thracian" described were different ethnoses, however in the origin.

Btw. German refugees in Germany that came from the eastern territories of the German Empire did not try to integrate (nor to prevent it). They partly organised in "Landsmannschaften" (regional compatriotships) from their origin regions, but this identity was never rejecting marrying other Germans. The reproductive community was regularly seen as the whole German people with some reservations between protestants and catholics, if they were active believers. Otherwise also not really.

Its very Interesting there people exist in ethnic Turks like you. This is probably result of spending too much time on neonazi forums.
Even the most hardcore xabze-supporter Circassians (like %4-5) are leaving ethnic preferences behind.

Are there ethnic preferences among "Anatolian Turks" too not to marry people with differing origin, like Balkan Turks, Circassians, Georgians and Arabs in Turkey?

Besides of this kind of platforms, no one differs Turks into Balkan and Anatolian groups. If someone with "Anatolian" Turkish ancestry like me can respond, no we don't. Turkish identity in terms of cultural/historical values are more important than ethnic priorities.

Population genetics has nothing to do with commercial companies and their estimates. Science is exact, it is interpretation of data that is not.

Population genetics is not an exact science.

It is.

[JosephK]

It is.

Population genetics is literally statistical. Thus, not actually an "exact" science.

After taking several tests and having my DNA sequenced, I feel like they are quite accurate when used with a wide enough sample group. That's really the key: having as many historically valid samples and modern samples for comparison. I think that it did a great job with my ancestry.

Fortunately my nation is secure from such a subhuman thing forever. How can you draw a "red line" for something people dont choose? It was never a thing through ancient human history. We are all mixes of different, sometimes VERY different populations. Important thing is shared values and people in order. Thankfully my nation is well-aware of this.

Historically, only issue was a religious issue here, like Catholic-Orthodox issue but people are ashamed of this and it doesnt exist anymore.

It seems you have serious complexes because of your immigrant background. Even if you don’t say directly, you imply Turkish people are composed of genetically unrelated peoples, which is not true at all, and you resume the same nonsense in Quora and Reddit too. Be a little self-confident.

[reboun]

I consider your insecurities punishment for ethnic betrayal of your roots.

What the hell?
