It probably means he was hoping for a fun surprise, (Something like You're 10% Inca!), but didn't get one.

I did the same thing - my Ancestry test came back with a whole lot of "Western Europe" - even more than I expected, actually.

Yep. I got a 23andme test. Told me nothing I didn't already know.

My friend's father did a DNA test and found out he was some portion Ashkenazi Jew. He went around screaming about it for a week, so proud that his genetic line birthed Albert Einstein.
