"DNA TEST GIVES STUDENT ETHNIC SHOCKS"
As much as I belive that knowing your ethnic background is important, I agree with the decesions of the people in the article when they stated they didn't feel the need to change after finding about their DNA make up. I too am curious to know what percentage of each ethnicity i am, but if i were to find a percentage of me to be black or asian my actions would not change. As Americans race has always been an issue. Everybody has been judged on it throughout the years, and even though it is getting better we still see the stero-types out there. Americans as a whole are so judgemental, that even knowing a "black" person or a "white" person had a higher percentage of the other, the color of the skin is all we look at. The only gain that the DNA has is that of personal knowledge and satisfaction. People don't act a certain way becasue of the color of their skin, they act the way that they do becasue of how they were brought up.
