I had my DNA analysed last year when AncestryDNA was running a discounted promotion. I chose them over other tests as they were more likely to give me a percentage New Zealand Maori, plus from both my parents and also my grandparents. More recent (hundreds of years) rather than ancient.

I was curious to compare with family narrative. Mum from Maori, Scottish, English, Irish descent. Dad from Dutch and German descent (and my Oma's family was believed to be from Prussia).

Plus I was sick of people with their identity politics saying 'but you're white'. I am 'brown' and I am New Zealand born with mixed ethnicity. How brown I appear depends on the lighting and whether I have been avoiding the sun. Plus compared to other skin tones. 

If I point out that I am part-Maori, I get told 'but you're white passing. You have white privilege' to try to dismiss me in debate. Maori typically have brown skin and my skin-tone is in the middle. I don't fit the 'black' vs 'white' identity politics.

I have been through a stressful process of being assessed for impairment for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) for the purposes of lump sum payment as compensation. For what is called sensitive claims (includes sexual abuse trauma etc) with ACC in New Zealand.

This can only be done after having therapy to treat the PTSD as much as possible. A lot of people pull out of the process.
