Ashkenazi Jewish data hacked from 23andMe

A list of Jews being compiled by someone for unknown reasons is disturbing

 

I'm not trusting my DNA to any of those businesses.

 

Probably somebody who wants to file it away so they can order smart kids when AI can do the job.

 

Yeah, but according to the OP, Sephardim Jews were not subject to the targeting. So there’s that.

 

Any idea why they would only target ashkenazi for this list?

 

Beats the [fecal matter] out of me. Just a guess, but Ashkenazi are typically the Jewish people of Northern Europe, so they tend to have a fairer complexion than their Sephardim counterparts, who are typically the Jewish people of Spain, North Africa, and the Levant. Maybe “white” Jews are more acceptable targets for whatever the hackers have in mind.

 

One should always be careful where they deposit their DNA.

 

He really put that one on a tee for you.

 

I have never understood why people willingly submit to those services?

 

To learn more about oneself, of course.
