DNA tests can get the general area those traits are common from, but can't usually pinpoint the exact ethnic group without extra information like family history.

This. Too many people take these tests as gospel. The testers assume that traits ONLY appear in X ethnic group, when most traits occur independently spread out among many(if not all) groups of humans. We are too similar to each other to truly divide along racial lines, beyond superficial differences. Which is not to say race isn't real and doesn't matter, but it truly is a social construct, while sex has actual, measurable impact. The irony of this is completely lost on these morons.
