43% Nigerian, Meghan's DNA fail.

May 12, 2024 15:39

To be filed under "Is the Pope Catholic?" Meghan, Duchess of Sussex finds out she is half African. Thing is, genetics doesn't work like that. Nigeria is invented, Lord Lugard drew a line on a map and an area known for slavery became part of the British empire. DNA can be specific, especially in Britain. Tribes in Africa tend not to be genetic expressions, more political ones. What will happen if/when Meghan opts to disclose if she is Ibo/Yoruba/Hausa?
