I am Greek, my parents are both Greek, my grandparents on both sides are Greek, my great-grandparents on both sides are Greek.
The problem is I do not like like a Mediterranean, neither do my parents, neither do my siblings, we're all pale, brown hair, green eyes, blue eyes, etc. I have sent off DNA test to check my actual ethnicity and I am prepared for it to come back and say we're not even Greek.
That said, if the DNA comes back and says we're not Greek...
>1. Do we stop talking Greek >2. Do we stop practicing Greek traditions/religion/culture >3. Do we stop calling ourselves Greek?
I can't call myself Greek if I am not ethnically Greek by DNA, I would feel like a WE WUZ GREEKZ N SHEET if I did that, I do not want to LARP.
The problem is that Hellas was subject to lot of migrations. Pontics are counted as Greeks even though they arent for instance

Well thats the thing.
I feel like my family migrated from Slavs or Turks into the Byzantium world, and then they ended up going to Greece and staying there, and then 1000 years later I am born.
I have sent out DNA to several different labs, so I want to see how the results come back.

There are no 100% pure nations besides some jungle tribe in Brazilian forests. You are what you and your ancestors thought they are.
You can't do this in the Near East, were too ethnically complex. What is Arab Christian today was Greek yesterday, which was Aramean the day before. The Middle East, Greece included, is far too complex. That's why you have darker, Arab looking Lebanese, as well as pale, green eyed Mediterranean looking Lebanese. What you look like isn't always accurate of your family's origins. My cousins are brown, I'm light olive. They have green eyes, I have brown. One of my grandfathers looks like Nassim Taleb, the other looks like Aoun. Genetics are not always visually accurate. You could be only 2% Jewish yet still inherit a Semitic nose. Or 5% Arab but have dark skin. Culture/origins are far superior to exact ethnicity. Nobody is pure. Where your family grew up, the language, food, mythology, is more important than if you're 20% Bulgarian. When you obsess about ethnicity, you find hatred and superiority, like what caused the Lebanese civil war. This is why I don't care if my fellow Lebanese looks more or less Arab than me, were all Phoenicians. Cultural nationalism is the real Redpill. As long as your family has lived in your 'homeland' for many generations you're fine. But some foreigner can't show up and pretend to magically become Lebanese (go back to Syria for God's sake) Hope this helps.
