    An African-American comedian who moved to Sweden did a similar routine about his Swedish wife being naively excited when his DNA test showed him to be 4% Scandinavian.

      Reminds me of the SNL Key and Peele skit where they made a commercial for those companies that use your DNA to find out about your background.

      Edit: Corrected a mistake.
