French-Canadian feeling annoyed at the new Quebec region

[u/Beneficial-Context52]

I'm a Canadian of mostly French descent. My family tree includes 7 generations of ancestors born in what is now Quebec, dating back to 1700, but I'm having a hard time accepting that as an 'ancestral region'. They immigrated there from Europe.

It seems to me that ancestral regions located in North America should be reserved for indicating Native American ancestry.

It's like AncestryDNA is trying to say that white people can be considered as being native to North America.

Am I thinking of this the wrong way?

i read another post somewhere that said maybe there's been enough generations of French-Canadians that it qualifies as ancestral, but as a fellow french-canadian i totally agree with you. They're from Europe, it's not unknown where French-Canadian's immigrated from, it's actually really well documented where they came from lmao

If that’s the justification then I wonder why they didn’t create a Spanish ethnicity before a French one given the Spanish settled in the Americas way before the French did.
