I just wanna put this out here about ancestry and privilege… before people assume all white people are privileged with knowing their ancestries and roots and have ties to them etc. I found out fairly recently I am Prussian. My ancestry does not exist anymore. Prussia ceased to exist as a country in 1947.
I am processing what this means for me to have a lineage that is simply non-existent anymore- especially when most white people are privileged to have ancestral ties. Our lands and culture were assimilated. I actually feel a lot of grief.
