Why do Hakka, Teochew, Cantonese always claim pure northern Han heritage when they are not? I'm Hokkien but I've never heard an Hokkien claiming they are North Chinese and clearly genetic shows all southern Chinese to be closer to aborigines, even though they are all mixed with Han Chinese. But yet till this day they still claim to be the pure descendants of Northern Chinese? I understand the great Chinese civilization happened in north China and the most of the dynasties, emperor and generals were also from the north accept for Ming dynasty and CCP which was founded by South Chinese. But do you guys even know that northern China has been conquered like 12-15 times by non-Han Chinese, and in most of their history they were died the most from wars and famine. So claiming northern Chinese heritage isn't an great thing it's actually quite humiliating, at least Southern China at best was ruled only by Mongols and Manchus, but northern China got conquered and ruled by so many non-Han Chinese dynasties. And only South Chinese ruled the Manchus and Mongols today.
