I got 98% Hazara and 2% Khyber Pakhtunkhwa & Gilgit-Baltistan, with 0% actual Hazara blood... never mind that, I have much lower East Asian blood for a common Tajik or Pashtun.

My family and I were born in Kabul. DNA claims Turkish and Italian ancestors as majority. No Semitic. No tribal names. Nothing else.

I mean I appreciate there isn't a giant catch-all term but atp they're making things up.

Mine isn't accurate either and it's clearly flawed.
It includes almost all provinces under hazara category.

Hazara folks are in a large region in Afghanistan but I sort of agree. I think a lot of it is misattributed. It's definitely not that large area as shown.

Apparently, I’m 62% hazara. I have absolutely zero recorded hazara ancestry, dont look like it at all

Is it not weird that Pashtunkhwa doesn't include southern most Afghanistan? Or is it just me?
