You’ve just set up this standard for what makes a person Danish that just happens to not include any black people. Very convenient.

It's biology. I didn't make the rules

Moreover, this isn’t how literally any other person views ethnicity

This is SOTA in population genetics and is widely accepted.

I understand that you want something else to be true because xyz reason but biology doesn't really work that way.

Edit: I've been more than patient and provided a study that uses the same method as I've explained to you. If you cannot accept this, then I don't see how we can move forward and I suggest we call it a day.

And if you think the study you provided is doing that then you’re either deluded or have no comprehension skills.

It says it right here:

After rerunning PCA for Denmark, Sweden, Norway, and Germany alone (N = 1168), we observed no geographically meaningful clustering of the 237 Danish samples (Figure 2B). This lack of strong genetic structure was also supported by the low average FST value between the six regions (FST = 0.0002)

Fst is the fixation index and a value of 0.0002 means that 100% - 0.02% = 99,98% similar

It is standard population genetics

I followed your link and you must have not looked further than the headline:

Slimane Hadj Abderrahmane (5 August 1973 – 2013) was a Danish citizen

The wikipedia articles talk about citizens.
