    Correction: She tweeted she did a DNA test and she has some Irish and Polynesian ancestry. https://twitter.com/sza/status/900452560728981505

      Maybe that Polynesian part could mean she has some ancestors from Madagascar?

        She should post the whole DNA test to have a clear view about that. If she scored 0,1% Polynesian I would not pay much attention for it.

          why not pay attention to it? I don’t know the amount she has, but even if it was .1%, that could just be the amount she may have inherited, someone else in her family may have gotten more. It’s still part of her bloodline

            No, it’ s called genetic noise.

          • fuzzybear44 says:

            Well we don’t agree, nothing new. However seeing that me and my sister both took DNA tests, with me receiving ,1% Senegal ancestry, while she got 4%. I found it a little hard to accept that it’s just genetic noise

    She was 10 years old when 9/11 happened. Muslim girls starts wearing hijab (the ones who follow this custom) at 13-14 or even later, or never, there must be something wrong in the description
