[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 750163, member: 18958"] I'm with you. I think this is among the most ridiculous complaints I've heard here on this forum, of an adult child. There is a mother posting here whose daughter blames her mother's genes for her son's autism. Really? I find this whole ancestral issue interesting. My own son (adopted, and bi-racial) tells me repeatedly that I am not really Jewish genetically, because in his (dumb) view only Sephardic Jews (not Ashkenazi) directly from Middle Eastern regions, are truly Jewish. Give me a break. Who cares? But the thing I wanted to say that is interesting, is that Portuguese ethnicity has genetic ties to North Africa. Consequently it is hardly surprising that somebody of Portuguese descent would have African and Semitic genetic markers. If it were me I would be happy and proud. I would wish for this heritage. Please, please, please let this one go. [/QUOTE]
