So they managed to get rid of the Oceania category for us Polynesians. I saw how a relative of mine who is a pure Hawaiian shows up as 100% East Asian (East Asian Coastal Islands) now. I don't understand why they did that, but worse, because many of us are admixed, seems like they sliced up our Oceania portion and put it into other random categories.
My mother was 19.81% European, 24.39% Oceania and 55.79% European. She now shows 81% East Asia, 17% European and 1% African.
So it seems they took all of her Oceania and threw it under East Asia category but somehow decreased her European and also put it under East Asia?
I used to show:
80.51% East Asia (Southeast Asian)
9.85% Europe
9.64% Oceania
Now I show:
89% East Asian
11% European
So did they split Oceania between East Asian and European? How can my mother have her European decrease while mine increased when I get my European from my mother? My Hawaiian (Oceania) also comes from my mother.
This is so disappointed and seems very European-centric.
