I forgot to mention, if you have Indian relatives from the Early 1600s, their DNA may not show up today. Consider that 10 generations means you had 1024 gr grandparents then. I only a few were Indian, they could've seen blocked by more recent additions to your Genome. 10 generations and 1024 gr grandparents makes it impossible to know your "etnicity" in a country with a lot of migrants. Who were any of us 10 generations ago? One of 1024 people. The best way to find out who you are is to find out who they were.
Alexis, your dad is probably right look what one person said: "FYI, my uncle (by marriage) who was born in Peru recently tested and is 87% Native American. Ancestry very accurate detects Native American heritage from Mexico, Central and South America, but not so much Native Americans from US tribes." support.ancestry.com/s/question/0D5150000224MpQCAU/my-dna-testing-shows-no-native-american The tests aren't testing for all tribes. They have limited samples & tribes in the database. If your dad for example has Chahta (Choctaw) ancestry for example and the DNA company only has samples for let's say Inca, Taino, Mayan, Aztec, & Mayan tribes (just examples) your Amerindian DNA won't pop up. That's the misleading part
@@guppy9713 its popular these days.ppl are racist against white ppl now. Its crazy how stupid ppl are, instead of ending racism they turn it around because of what Americans did.
veryserioz not per se. Mixed race can go from white as paper, to dark as charcoal. Yes its more likely to have A darker skincomplexion , but it isn't nesscesary
@@Neverseenstars thats not what colorism is per say and also race has more to do with social constructs than anything biological. Also, there isnt anything or anyone "fully black"in the african diaspora or even in parts of Africa. Thats a myth used to perpetuate division. That IS a part of colorism. Not to mention the fact that race isn't even real in the first place but that's a different conversation
All the pure ignorance with the comments. She has white and black features. I knew she had both by looking at her. Whatever she is, she is human and absolutely gorgeous.
im African, and in Africa, classification of race is more straight forward than in America, in my country. mixed race people are not identified as black but coloured, you're black only if both your parents are black
+Vingadora Actually, that is not true. I live in Brazil and people are classified based on their color, not if they are mixed or not. Technically, most people called brancos (whites) in Brazil are mixed, just as most people called pretos (blacks) are mixed, but they simply have very light or darker brown skin. The people called pardo (literally meaning "brown skinned") are the "color" that is labeled as "mixed" in Brazil, basically the tanned or beige color. In Brazil, a person can have a white parent and a black parent, but if that person is very light skinned with straightened hair, they could be called white, or if that person is darker brown with more Afro hair texture, could be called black, of if they look "in between" they are called "pardo." Brazil has "color categories ." Literally full siblings in the same family can be considered as different "races" if they have different skin colors, but they are apart of the same "culture" (Brazilian culture.)
Seriously girl I'm biracial like you, my sister looks A LOT like you(beautiful) But be proud of ALL your heritage, that Irish and British is something to be proud of too.
@@chetachiabiaka674 the British liked to mix their Irish slaves with their black slaves. which explains why so many mixed blacks in America have Irish ancestry, besides english.
@@isaiahgowdy7149 not quite slaves but treated the exact same way. They were indentured servants. There are stories/ actual documentaries of what the Irish went through. Just as horrible as black slaves. Most died on the boat to America. They were split from their families. They were sold and auctioned to other people. If the master died they would then be owned by the wife. If they still owed money they would also give to the person who was owed money. Since they couldn’t read or write many of them got screwed over on the time they had to serve. Some times their kids would be owned until they were 21. They also weren’t allowed to learn to read. So yes people will say the Irish people were slaves. Bc they were treated as such. however bc of the terminology saying they had a contract and is legally binding they weren’t. Not to mention that they get time added if they had children. They got time added if they tried to run away. They got time added if they mouthed off or fought back. The main difference between them is that once the agreed upon time a person was to serve came to an end they got to leave. But again, they had no where to go. No food. Hate when people say they weren’t slaves just because of terminology. In the time they had to serve, that is what they were. So yes they were. And no they weren’t.
Did she say she wasn’t proud. Why do people take it as a dig when someone identifies beauty in black features or herritage. No one complains when white features are glorified by biracial, so why should they feel ashamed for wanting the desire for their black inheritance to be present???
People are only ashamed when they have white european ancestry. When it comes to every other racial group with racial slave owning & trading and/or ethnic genocide history, no one gives a shit. Everyone is happy to embrace african, arabic and latin european racist slave owners and genociders as their ancestors. I laugh when I hear people proudly saying in this context, "I have latin european/west african ancestry!" completely unaware of the possibility that they may have ancestors who directly participated in the trans-atlantic slave trade, you know, the ones responsable for the vast majority of african slaves being sent to the americas and enslaved there.
arab through all history they are the owner of the slave and that's why we have been fighting for many years because we like to be the owner until today we have an Indian,african,Chinese,Ethiopian,Bangladesh slave in the middle East.
Kiki Doll maybe it was less to do with shame and possibly an attempt to feel nor "exotic" ... People still do it today. It's always cooler to be different/unique.
In UK there is a lot less focus on race than in America. Its more about our different cultures, black people come from lots of different countries and so do the white people here. But in America both black and white people dont really know their true cultures so they just use race to enforce their culture.
Jorge... You hit the nail on the head. Europe didn't receive immigrants until the modern "PC" age. So of course it's not the same. They ingrained their racism on their colonies, and avoided most of that bitter division themselves by the simple fact that they didn't have to deal with other races where they lived in Europe. They basically dumped all of their racist imperialistic attitudes on other parts of the world, mainly the Americas, which has suffered a long-standing cycle that cannot be broken. Meanwhile Europeans get to act like they are away from it all, when in fact they started it all.
It is the sad truth. I had to grin when you mentioned everyone in the US thinking they have Native ancestry. It is so true. So many people I know have "rumors" of a Native American great-grandma. Nothing confirmed, of course. (In reality, it's usually black or white ancestry.) So yes, even if we have ancestors going back several generations on all sides, we feel like it's not good enough. The atrocities done to the Native people were just too terrible, too unforgivable. Our ancestors saddled us with guilt, and there's nothing we can do about it. If you're 100% Euro descent, deep down you feel like an imposter. But then if you're not white, you are bound to experience some level of dehumanizing racism. At least Latin America retained a lot of the Native blood. I wish the Native blood was a lot stronger here. In the US, there hasn't been quite as much inter-breeding between races. Too bad.
Here in Europe it's about nationality. I get a lot racist (if you can call it that) remarks about my polish family part. It's not about your race, It's about your nationality. Racism on another level yay!
This might sound strange, but when I did my DNA test with Ancestry, I read that you get 50% of your DNA from your mom, and 50% from your father. The thing is, the father 50% from each side, is a Random 50% of each of their DNA..this means that your father could have Indian or Native American show up on his test, and you not have a trace!! This was something I didn't know prior to taking my test!
Sorry but I think it is getting ridiculous.. This myth that keeps being refuted about African Americans having Native American in them. The light skin, long hair, shaped nose etc is all from the European slave masters or Black / White relationships..
Sorry to have come off as rude.. I just find it cringeworthy that 99% of African Americans claim to have Native American in them. It is impossible. We know that nearly the whole Indian population was wiped out by the early European settlers. So how can all the slaves have slept / reproduced or be related to Native Americans? I think more than 95% of them have European DNA than Native Indian DNA. And on a lighter note. I think you are a really pretty and gorgeous young woman ;-)
Plenty of them do have Native American in them. Just because not many have taken a dna test, or at least posted many doesn't mean they don't exist. There are literally a few thousand here in NC and Va. My parents met at Pow Wow, but never married. She later went on to marry an African American man from which my 4 siblings(one deceased brother) were born. A big part of the problem is that many of those who belong to our tribes consider themselves Native American, and refuse to take dna tests as ALL tribal groups across the USA have. Some of them are as much Black as they are Native.
They ARE a minority! U wouldn't know it because of TV or the movies. If all the "POC" (people of color) are grouped together, then whites would be a minority. Even the KKK & White Power would reject Italians, Gypsies, Spaniards, Jews , and Arabs....Btw, the KKK were a democratic organization and they are the ones running the school system trying to push whitey guilt even though the majority of whites were against slavery. They are probably laughing at blacks calling themselves People of Color being that the term sounds so close to the word "colored." What color was Lincoln? What party was he? Show me a democrat run town and I will show you blacks killing blacks there! Dems took over the school system and are pushing illegals have more privilege such as govt assistance and scholarships over blacks and also give "POC" extra points like they are disabled because they automatically assume they are not as smart and not as affluent as Whites and Asians. This is what Affirmative Action was about. Life isn't about victim Olympics and shouldn't be about identity politics either. As long as you see yourself as the victim, you will be. Watch the DSA convention and see how many mental cases of white people are there and they are the ones fighting to keep illegals in the country...they are the real r@cists.... without illegals and economic refugees, they wouldn't have anyone to feel superior to somehow. If any of these people lived in the hood, they would want to get rid of illegals and economic refugees that are causing tax paying people much hardship.
It really pisses me off to see all the people in the comments telling her what they think she should identify with. As soon as the video started, I immediately assumed that she was a biracial black woman. To my shock, she has much more European DNA than I expected, but that still hasn't changed how I view her. She was raised by her father, who is a black man. She is mostly familiar with the black side of her family. Thus, she has been raised her entire life as a black woman. SHE HAS EVERY RIGHT TO IDENTIFY AS A BLACK WOMAN. And I, as a person who's DNA is 100% Sub-Saharan Africa (mostly Southeastern Bantu) is more accepting of her than some of the people here who have less than 70% African DNA. What is up with that? Let this woman be.
Feonalilly do you sis. If you feel like you're white, then go for it. Although I can't promise that Becky and them will see you as such. If Shaun King (a quadroon) can be one of the most popular BLM activists without anyone questioning it, then this lady has the right to identify with whoever raised her. Thus, she has the right to claim and embrace her blackness without the percentage police budging in on her.
+Czar JuliusIII Agreed. Throughout the entire forum, so many people seem to be forgetting that Black Americans are a culture, not a skin color. There are numerous figures in Black American history who were either biracial or had a biracial parent, and they were no less black in culture or heritage. This woman said she is mixed race, she is white and she is black. She has a Black American father. No one can give any logical reason why she should not be able to acknowledge and love the black aspect of her heritage. She didn't say she was brown skinned or dark skinned, she said she was black. Not only black, but black nonetheless.
this doesn't make sense lol her father is mixed race therefore she is majority European. she IS a woman of European decent lets not deny that 70%+ lineage being brought up in a predominantly black neighbourhood and family does not make you black. Stop it. Stop this nonsense claiming everyone with 20%, 15%, 5% african ancestry as solely black. wtf she and i are not the same.
No one here has the right to tell her she isn’t black enough. To her prior knowledge, she is half black and half white. she embraced both obviously. just because this test told her she’s only 25% black that doesn’t mean she isn’t black enough. She’s still who she is.
Aya Hall I was going to say that exactly. Howww damn rude. She was raised that way. Like she'd know any different...how could she? That's WHY she got the test right? And they're all hating on her repeating literally just what she grew up being told. 🙄 ignorance
oké Theres dark skinned people with more white than black dna so... are they white? No. I'm so tired of everyone else telling us what to be. Let mixed people be both and mind your business.
yippehanako lmao ‘scuse me?? i’m literally stating facts and u out here acting like this is coming from me myself. get educated please. also being black is in your dna so “darskskinned people” have nothing to do with it. There’s arabs with very dark skin but ate they black?? no, they’re arab.
People have to remember that a person's heritage isn't only determined by percentages in the blood, but also the experiences of their families. She may be more white than black genetically, but that doesn't mean that the experiences of her black ancestors don't count, or that she has to deny having African roots at all. Shouldn't we be encouraging people to honor their heritage in all of its facets???
Virginia's SWP LOL! If people look white, claim to be white, I accept that. Why is it so difficult to accept that white people can have black ancestors and still be white people? I am black and have white ancestry from all four of my grand parents. Yet I am a black woman and pleased with my pigmentation. The experiences of my white ancestry is totally unimportant to me. These people were great grand parents who were dead when I was born. Accepting or denying roots is up to the person in question. You want to hear about the rape of two of my great grandmothers? I would prefer to deny the existence of the men who raped them. But it's to late and it doesn't matter any more.
It has been studied and stated that due to Sicilians and Africans inter- marrying in distant times, Sicilians / Italians have 10 per cent of African dna.
Look i agree she should be able to acknowledge she has african ties but she does not get to say she is half black and white she is 70 percent white not close to being black. But she can say to ignorant blacks that she is not racist for being white cause she is a product of slavery as well and not from masa's side but the slave side.
As an adoptee, with a unique ethnic look, I am so happy for people when they learn their ethnicity. I was so grateful that DNA became a thing in my lifetime, while I was still young enough to share with my children, etc. Peace and congratulations
I wouldn't call this ladies black in my country.She's looks mixed to me. There's nothing that shouts out she's a black women. She's 75% White when do we start calling people what they are. Jim Crow rules are long gone so let them go. You obviously have strong ties to the African American culture which is cool and fine but culture and DNA are two different things. It's ok to be mostly white and its ok to be white. God made you the way you are. Your beautiful. It's always good for people to find out there ancestry. Not hating
Thank you!!, finally someone with common sense, she is italian, and italians are latinos, (latinos are only europeans from the old roman empire, not latinamericans).
dan schroder nothing that looks black! her hair and her nose says nothing but black. No white women has hair like that unless she is mixed with African blood.
Please know that Lighter skin has nothing to do with how much blackness a Black person. Don't go around and have that kind of mindset about Blacks. But I definitely agree with you on how a lot of Black Americans believe they have "Indian" in them, which the proper term is Native American. Indian is people from India(I'm half so I always correct people lmaoo). Can't call native Americans Indian cause thats what their oppressors thought they were when they "found" The Americas. But anyway def agree a lot of Blacks will say Native American but its not true, theres research on that most of them have European in them.
I was about to say the same thing. Light skin for black people does not mean mixed. My cousins and nephew are almost as light as her and they are 100% Nigerian. To be black does not mean that you are homogenous, all black people- not even in Africa- look the same.
Out of Africa theory is debunked. And we know black people aren’t even closely related to neither caucasians and asians. Europeans descends from cro magnons.
Please say native American, Indian is a whole different race of people which has nothing to do with the first settlers of the Americas, at least say Amerindian if you are referring to native people of America.
My step-father, brother, and two sisters are all native. I grew up with my step dad calling himself an indian, and my mother calling him an indian, and him and his other native friends referring to each other as indians. The day i called someone an indian i just about got knocked out, i assumed any name the natives i knew used to refer to themselves must have been correct and appropriate. To this day my family still refer to themselves that way but i now differentiate between native and actual indian. Still don't know why they choose to use that term to identify themselves, but i learned in a hurry it wasn't ok to say. Growing up i dont even think i knew i was white, i ran around bare foot with a bow and arrow and a mini chiefs headdress, went to pow wows and remember watching fish get smoked on racks and native women chanting and smudging herbs. I think i just about died of shock the day someone saw me dressed that way and called me "racist" i was just a kid who dressed as pocahontas every halloween and idolized the beautiful native women. It hurt me a lot to realize the older i got the more i was no longer a cute little kid, and so got pushed away from the culture that gave me solace. My only positive childhood memories were of native culture so to become shunned as i got older for not really being native hurt my feelings. I cant even go to see my friend on the reserve without someone trying to beat me up because i'm white. It can definitely be confusing being a part of a family whose skin is not your own.
Dale Jones not true. I still would assume she is white. Why do black people think curly hair automatically means biracial. There are Jewish people with hair like hers. Legit no one but American blacks would consider this girl black.
Right that’s what I’m saying!!!! That was very wise of her to figure out! Even though black people still gon clam that “Indian” (properly known as Native American) till they die😭😭
To address a couple of the comments that I see below: If you guys were to take a blue crayon and a yellow crayon and mix them together, what color would be produced? Green, right? If you saw that color on a piece of paper, and someone asked you what color it was, you wouldn't say, "oh, that's the color blue" or "that's the color yellow." Because you would clearly see the color green. To me, you're not black, You are mixed with black, but that does not mean you are black. You are mixed and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. If you feel like you want to identify and let people know your a black women, no one is going to stop you, that's your choice. Though "race" (created by the white man) was suppose to be a classification based on physical traits, genetics, ancestry, etc... by the 17th century, people used race to classify others solely based on physical traits/phenotype, and that is how we are classified by race today. Some people may argue, "Well, don't Black Americans have like 20% White in them, why are they still identified as black? Because race is classified based on phenotype, and we all know what 'black' looks like in the U.S. I do agree with the fact that it is MORE than just skin color, because not everyone identifies as 'black' even though they have 'black skin.' I think being black in America can also mean that you have ancestors who were slaves here, as well. Anyways, for example, I come from a 1st gen family and was born to immigrants, and many in my family did not identified with black, and many people who I know who were born and live in Africa, do not identify as black because "race" is a system that was only created in the U.S. They identified with being Nigerian, Ghanaian, Ethiopian-American, etc. It's when you come to the U.S., is when this 'race' classification is applied, so for a large part of my life living here that's how I was identified (black). The whole race classification system is confusing because it was literally created by man. Because if you think about it, in the 1920's/30's, there were bi-racial people back then who would pass as white, and there would be some who would try to pass as white by straightening their hair, etc. and it sometimes worked. All I know is that in the general sense, the definition of race TODAY is based on phenotype. I mean, if you guys think about it, it's a prejudiced system. We are literally judging someone based on how they look. Thing is, everyone does it. But I think Black Americans today though, are the only ones who basically let everyone be 'black' though, because you don't really see other races doing this. By this I mean, you could be 1/8 black, not even look it, and the black community here will still accept you. I'm not saying this is like a huge huge problem, all I'm saying is that doing this creates a superiority/inferiority complex in the black community (which already exists), and it really messes up the media image of what black beauty is, because if you look at the image today, it's mostly mixed or racially ambiguous women who are being portrayed as a black woman, when most black women today, generally do not look like that. Then you got all these little black girls growing up not seeing their appearance being portrayed in the media, etc. and it's like they grow up feeling ugly, not pretty enough, or whatever, etc. I don't want to get deep into this, because I've already said so much already. Anyways, glad you got your results. But in my opinion, If I were to classify you based on race today, I would identify you as a white women before knowing your lineage. If I knew your lineage/background (which I know now), then I would classify you as bi-racial/mixed. But hey, that's just my opinion (my opinion does not mean anything and should not mean anything to you).
+Jalisa It's always funny to me when people use paint and crayon color references to describe human racial classifications. The funny thing about paint colors is that if you combine all paint colors together, you get the color "black." But I digress. First, "race" and "racial classification" was not created only in the US. In fact, it was created in Latin America before it was in the United States, because it was the Portuguese and Spanish who created the transatlantic slave trade. The British joined in later. Only about 5% of enslaved Africans went to the United States, the majority went to Brazil, the Caribbean and other South American countries. The word "Negro" as we were called way back when in the United States, was the Spanish word for black, which is still common to hear in Latin American countries when describing black people. The word "negro" is an official racial classifications in most Latin American countries today. Basically, in all of the Americas and the Caribbean, those classifications existed. And for those who know Latin American history, a form of the "one drop rule" unofficially existed in many Latin American nations also, except with a reverse concept known as "whitening." Countries like Brazil, Cuba, the Dominican Republic, etc actively encouraged blanquemiento/branquemiento (whitening) to "improve the race" (mejorar la raza) by breeding out the blackness. That idea was basically like tthe one drop rule in reverse, that to mix with white made you close to white, which was the ideal and completely non-black. Over time, the idea was to completely phase out the black populations from those countries. It's one of the reasons why to this day in many Latin American countries, many people, even darker skinned people, downplay African heritage and constantly emphasize mixture over black identity. It's because their historic culture taught them "mixture" was superior to blackness, because it was closer to white. There are still a considerable number of Latin families who encourage their children not to marry or have children with darker skinned members of their own cultures. Look at the official census of Puerto Rico. For all the talk of being mixed, officially 75% of Puerto Ricans on the island racially self identify as "white," despite having a mixed race category on their census. In Cuba, 64.1% self identified as white, again despite multiracial heritage. Brazil, 47% self identify as "white" despite being the most mixed race country in the world. And people want to call the one drop rule detrimental? At least that rule, despite its origin, gave black Americans of multiple skin colors an ethnic identity to unify around. Go to any Latin American country, and in every single one of them, you rarely see black people in any well paying jobs, they have very little social mobility and commonly live in slums and are routinely subject to military police harassment. And two people in the same family can have different "racial classifications.' Literally, two siblings with different skin colors are can be considered two different races and treated completely differently in society, despite being apart of the same national culture. Compared to that, I'll stick with the one drop rule, thanks.
Where does this idea that the concept of race was invented by a white man during the trans-atlantic period, come from, if not from modern ignorance? Why don't you start with its etymological origins? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Historical_race_concepts
+Taqiyya is dark and full of taharrush "Race" in humans in the concept of "skin color-based race" (i.e BLACK people, WHITE people, etc) did originate with white people during the transatlantic slave trade. Prior to that, human beings were not classified into "races" by skin color, but by national, cultural or ethnic origin. Do you honesty think and believe people on the African continent were calling themselves "black people" and referring to themselves as the "black race" before they encountered "white people?" There was literally no concept of the "white race" or the "black race" prior to the slave trade. Everyone in the ancient world was referred to by the land they came from, the ethnic groups they came from, and the cultures they came from. Before talking about modern ignorance, why don't you read some scientific journals and actual history books as opposed to a Wikipedia page?
derek walls 😂😅she's basically white and she knew it the whole time she told everybody I've been watching her vids for a long time so I knew this was coming
White Americans (European Americans) on average are: 98.6 percent European, 0.19 percent African and 0.18 percent Native American. Around 3.5 percent of self-described white Americans have 1 percent or more African ancestry. Ironically Southern White Americans have the highest instances of this, especially in Louisiana and South Carolina.
I know a girl who is about 75% black and 25% white (she did a DNA test too) and she's even lighter than Alexis. And both of her parents look black and consider themselves black. Skin tones just jumble together differently for different people.
Gorgeous girl! Lovely skin, beautiful eyes, and that hair! Thanks for sharing something so personal with us. No matter what anyone says, you represent both sides beautifully and are proof that love knows no color.
Reina Guzman she looks mixed, but her 25 percent of African is not a lot, it’s just surprising she has low African considering how she looks. I’ve seen people who have 20 percent African and the rest white, and you wouldn’t even tell they had some African in them, or mix. To me she looks half and half.
@@suzannenoel3078 but quarter one race and three quarters another is usually considered mixed by most. 50/50 is mixed too but also it holds the exclusive claim of biracial, but 75/25 is still a mix
Most likely she would. I have mixed cousins who have been brought up in my English family, they look about as white as she does and they identify as English. Most people will identify with the ethnic identity they are raised in.
Christal williams She actually looks whiter than the people on my mom's side of the family, who are Calabrese-Italian (their skin is darker, brown/black hair, dark brown/"black" eyes, etc...), so yeah, she very well could have identified as white, if she would've been raised as such, and no one would've thought anything of it.
@@baneeification I always laughed at those "oh, I'm not enough diverse" worries that US people have. *spoiler, every single person is diverse for being themselves, the smallest minority is the individual*
I'm biracial too! It gets so frustrating to hear ppl talk about you like 'oh you look more like that...' or 'no, you look more this...' -_- Like I have to pick a side. Smh
Niki Bronson goes both ways. My biracial daughter has been picked on for being light skinned all her life mostly by African American women who call her White. Just wrong.
First of all, you are a beautiful young woman. I did an ancestry test, also. It is awesome to see where your family is from! Please don't let DNA define You! You are an American. We are a mixture of all kinds of people!
I got the DNA test for Christmas but was kind of hesitant, but seeing this makes me want to know more :) Thanks and BTW, you are beautiful and I can feel the love you have for your father!
Stephanie Younger my mom is creole, making me half, but a lot of Louisiana creoles also have native in them or are rumoured to be so it sounded like she might me.
Yes because when females take the DNA test it only shows your maternal side somebody from your family that is a male has to take a test in order for you to get results for your paternal side
It's interesting to hear that you're a little over 20% African since you clearly look mixed. I have about 20% African DNA in me but I look totally white, I was pretty surprised. It's interesting how pigmentation can vary so much to the point where some people can have similar DNA ancestry but look very different. (I have no known African ancestors)
Well, now you have unknown African ancestors. Many mixed race families I know you are aware of passed for being "completely" white and never spoke of their African lineage. They wanted a easier life. omg
She could only claim black in America because of the white supremacist "one-drop rule" that we Americans love so much. In any other country people would look at her like shes crazy if she said she was black 😂🤣. I identify as black here in the states but when I travel I identify as a biracial American of African and European ancestry. Who knows maybe the one drop rule will spread around the world and I'll have to identify when I travel abroad as black in the future lol. Oddly enough I know alot of black Americans that would be happy if that actually happens for some strange reason.
I am Brazilian and my results have shown that I am 14% African. I have 5.2 from Nigeria and 8.8 from North Africa: Morocco, Algeria, Lybia and Egypt and I am very happy about it! Although I do not look black descendent I fortunately always knew how to respect all ethnicities! Her results are very interesting with the Irish (I also got some Irish (27%) and could never ever imagine this side of my ancestros).
Well, there might still be some Native American DNA in your familly that you didn't inherit. Many people forget that we take 50-50% from each parent, who took half from their parents. If you have a brother/sister, the two of you might have a completely different DNA map, depending what you inherited. P.S don't mind all the people in the comments who say you're not black. It's your life you can identify as whatever/whoever you want! ^_^
+jellafigo22 You're correct, it doesn't make it true to YOU. It's true for HER, the person in question. Do you let people decide who you are? If so, all the power to you and everyone who decide for themselves.
Athelas lmfao. Maybe because it's based on facts? The test said she was 3 quarters white. If anything she'd be identifying as neither black or white. I'm guessing you're also those people who deny science and like to let people choose whatever gender they are, despite all the science. Deny reality all you want, doesn't make it true.
Hopefully results like yours will put to rest the nonsense that one has to be either white or black. You are a perfect specimen of multiraciality. A gorgeous blend of G-d’s work. Bravo!!!!
The exact same thing happened to me! I was told my entire life that my grandfather was half native and found out I am 1% Chinese, 1% Polynesian, 25% Western European, and 73% African, mostly Western instead. I figured my green eyes came from some European blood and now it seems to be confirmed.
Lol ppl are arguing about her "blackness" gosh " well you are only 20% 25% that don't make you black" lol embrace your ethnicity, how hard can that be?
nightwishnemo because of her skin color? You can kinda see her "blackness" on her facial features. Some "blacks" have tan/brown skin so are they not "black?" It's basically identifying someone on what you see but reality most of us are mixed. Let her embrace it!
nightwishnemo but what is this based on? Like I've really seen this attitude and ideas placed on Asian, Blacks and Whites. "Forget your dna, if you don't look like it you ain't it." We have such a sad mentality of separation that unity is no longer an option? Mixed kids have it worse with this identity problem because "they are not white enough" "they are not black enough". Still why deny them the right to be proud of their roots?
nightwishnemo lol reality is that the problem isn't them, it's use. Parents can give them as much advice on their identity and confidence but like you say reality likes to categorize so what is she when she is not black enough for the black community and not white enough for the white community. I do not agree that we have to follow these ideas of categorizing that's why our ideas change through time, if only just a little. Plus as individuals it's our choice if we become a part of the heard or break away to better ideas.
Its amazing how so many ppl saying you're not really this & that. Ya'll realise that u take away any percentage of yourself-"YOU JUST WOULDN'T BE YOU" guys...she's beautiful..you can tell she has black & white for sure..the details-well only the DNA break down could give you that..but she is definately 100percent human...lol
Ze couves...By your logic and by the same token, then black is not a race either.....she has 74% white DNA. The word mutt is offensive and from that I take it you are a racist. End of!!!
Dear, continue doing YOU. Thank you for sharing your results and please remember that You don't have to explain yourself to ANY of these internet Race Gate-Keepers, lol. That's the prevailing problem with people; they think they can dictate how others see themselves. NewsFlash: YOU CAN'T! Move along.
Thank you +David Elliot and I whole heartedly say the same about you! If you're on Facebook, please join my Boycott Group: facebook.com/groups/1115306491878467/
i guarantee it'll be a surprise. the results are missing all the information from her entire Y-chromosome, because it's impossible for women to get those results. she doesn't understand that women can only test their Mitochondrial(ignores all males contribution to DNA) or Autosomal(only random recent relatives) DNA(both of which aren't very accurate past 5-6 generations), so her results will not show any ancestors past 150 years ago or so. She must get her brother to do a DNA test on the Y-chromosome to get her real results. the ones that test female heritage only or random places through the entire genome are not very accurate. the real tests cost close to a thousand dollars
Drip drop: The Y chromosome has limited DNA material, and will give little ancestral info. It can identify individuals in the male line, but the other chromosomes are much more indicative of ethnic/family heritage. I'd suggest you educate yourself a little more on how genetic inheritance works. isogg.org/ is a good resource for understanding the science and interpretation of results.
Thank you for embracing all your heritage. I took mine a lot matches my thoughts, however my Cherokee Indian did not come up, because they don't test their DNA to help match us. So proud of you. I can't wait to see my sister's results soon! Wish us luck.
Has a Nigerian its so shocking to realise how many of these DNA results get a % of Nigeria in them. Growing up the slavery thing always seems so far fetched for me maybe cause I grew up in Africa but seeibg this vids and lots of this descendants are actually my people I don't know, is it weird that I cried? Don't judge me pls, unlike most African Americans I never knew much about the history of slavery or have that incline to grive the slaves, so it's kinda just hitting me. It feels weird.
I'm white (Eastern Europe) and my husband is Pakistani, but if our daughter got a heritage DNA test and it turned out that there was some British blood from my husbands side due to colonization it doesn't make him less Pakistani, so why would people think it would be ok to completely erase my daughters ethnicity on her fathers side? Y'all are messed up in the head. She even talked about how it was possible that the British/Irish was probably a result of rape during slave times. I don't get how that's even on her since 50% of her whiteness was from mom. From what she knew her dad is black and her mom is white; from the sound of it her mom wasn't in the picture so of course she leans more towards the black side personally since she was raised like that. Y'all don't listen.
That's a little different because the Brits colonized Pakistan/India and his mother is British/Irish so obviously it would show a higher concentration of British than Pakistani in Zayn Malik if his fathers line was tainted as the result of colonialism.
+Alaine Aryes Actually, Pakistanis do not have any recent British blood for the most part, and British colonization in Pakistan was limited... However, they do have Ancient Nordic blood from the Aryan invasions of India, which is between 5 and 15% in most Pakistanis.
Such a complicated thing to deal with as someone’s thats biracial. We all hold minority dna higher in our identities. Especially when raised a different way with that racial identity. My wife and I as well as my sisters did the ancestry dna test. She always thought she was Native American and Irish. Turns out she was mostly English and Scandinavian. My results where also different. Thought I was Swedish and Italian. Turns out I’m Irish 2/3 and my little sister is only a half sibling. She has contacted various people she’s related to one that’s a first cousin that won’t respond to efforts to reach out. All we have is her initials. We separated from my mother for a few years in foster homes before she was born. Doesn’t remember who the father could be just put my dad as her father. My dad just took her in as his own. Hopefully more people do the test and she’s able to find who her biological father is.
Just FYI the "y" chromosome follows more true than the "x" chromosome. If your dad did the test you would know more accurately his side of your DNA. It would show more accurately the longer DNA trail. Being female you don't have the "y" chromosome so that part of your heritage (even thought it's not in your DNA. It would be in a brothers). So have your dad do the test and your mom get a male on her side to be able to see farther back in your DNA trail. The link below explains it a bit better. blog.23andme.com/23andme-and-you/whose-y-to-use-paternal-ancestry-for-ladies/
Ancestry & MyHeritage DNA tests base their results on the 46 chromosomes, rather than the X & Y chromosomes. In this case, it can trace back both the maternal & paternal bloodlines. 23andme bases theirs on `the X & Y chromosomes. So with theirs, a woman must have a separate Y chromosome test done on their dad, or uncles, in order to trace back the paternal bloodline. Myheritage does offer a separate X & Y chromosome test too, but the main test already detects both parent's DNA in the person taking it.
I Don't know why but I have watched I've 50 ancestry DNA tests, all from black people or mixed with black people and for some reason every single one if them have a percentage of Nigerian in them, I'm full Nigerian(for all I know anyway) and it makes me think that everyone originated from Nigeria and countries around there
I think most of us here in the Americas (that have been here for generations) that are of African descent have ancestors from Nigeria and surrounding countries, because of the African slaves from the western parts of the African continent. Some of us will have more or less than others, but yes. Nigeria almost always seems to in the mixture. I'm half African American/Creole (dad) and half Asian (Taiwanese mom). I have Southeast Asian, East Asian (Chinese), African, European (France, Spain), and Native American results on my test. On the African parts, my highest match was Benin/Togo, followed by Ivory Coast/Ghana, then followed by Nigeria. Then followed by the other African countries/group. If I'm not mistaken: Igbo, Yoruba, Akan, etc are from the Nigeria/Ivory Coast areas? I tend to get those groups when I run the tool calculators on GEDMatch.
What do you mean jare? Nigeria didn't exist until the late 19th century, and the region has always beenheavily populated And certain groups in Nigeria profited heavily from the slave trade and used it to completely terminate other Kingdoms (the Oyo dynasty was completely wiped out).
Hey, 75% Black 25 % White is basically every DNA test on here. Hers is more like the tests from Puerto Rico except she's 75% White and not 23 with the rest being Taino . They probably get mad when the DNA test talker starts talking about Indian Blood when they mean Native American and they have about 1% but when they find out they have 10 South Asian blood they forget all about Indians. (even thought they have plenty in India which is in Southern Asia LOL.) Her African was higher than I would have guessed. I thought about 20%
Hey, I'm looking at people and when I see wide flat noses I see Cameroon in everyone and it surprises me when they say Nigeria. No one is ever from Southwest Africa or Central Africa. Where are the Pygmies?
Hey, I'm biracial, too. I'm half African American/Creole (dad) and half Asian (Taiwanese mom). I'm 28% African (mostly West African countries) 20% European (Mainly French (Europe West) and Iberian Peninsula (Spain) 2% Native American 37% Asia East, 13% Polynesia
It is so interesting how times change. My mom (born in the late 1940's) was about 50% African and 50% European based on DNA, but since both of her parents identified as black, she identified as black. Based on the DNA results of her children, my grandmother (my mother's mother, born in the late 1920's) was less than 25% black, but she grew up in the "one drop rule" era, so she would get offended if you referred to her as anything other than black.
Whatever your combination -- you are beautiful. I regret the past enforced on peoples but I enjoy seeing DNA results that show most people are not exactly what they think. Most are not anywhere near the level of Native American that they think. One other thing for you to do is upload the raw data to GedMatch.com so that you get additional matches to results from other testing sites.
genuinely confused as to how this is "shocking." Like you already knew that you were italian, white, and black...and thats what you look like too. All this click bait
This video makes me sad. She just wanted to find more whiteness. She's almost... Just ALMOST light enough to pass and just just can't accept that she's black and white. She wants to be white with some black in her. I'm married to a white man. We don't have any children yet. I'm going to pray. Geesh. 😩😭
My DAD's DNA test is here ! th-cam.com/video/dDfEVnjDEkw/w-d-xo.html
i WAS KINDA THINKING YOU HAVE A SIMILAR MAKEUP TO SINGER TORRI KELLEY. AT LEAST ON A PHYSICAL LEVEL AND i KNOW SHE IS MIXED RACE.
I forgot to mention, if you have Indian relatives from the Early 1600s, their DNA may not show up today. Consider that 10 generations means you had 1024 gr grandparents then. I only a few were Indian, they could've seen blocked by more recent additions to your Genome. 10 generations and 1024 gr grandparents makes it impossible to know your "etnicity" in a country with a lot of migrants.
Who were any of us 10 generations ago? One of 1024 people. The best way to find out who you are is to find out who they were.
Alexis, your dad is probably right look what one person said:
"FYI, my uncle (by marriage) who was born in Peru recently tested and is 87% Native American. Ancestry very accurate detects Native American heritage from Mexico, Central and South America, but not so much Native Americans from US tribes."
support.ancestry.com/s/question/0D5150000224MpQCAU/my-dna-testing-shows-no-native-american
The tests aren't testing for all tribes. They have limited samples & tribes in the database. If your dad for example has Chahta (Choctaw) ancestry for example and the DNA company only has samples for let's say Inca, Taino, Mayan, Aztec, & Mayan tribes (just examples) your Amerindian DNA won't pop up. That's the misleading part
Why are you so surprised/relieved you have black dna??. Obvisiouly you would, your dad is black. You get 50% from each parent.
@@guppy9713 its popular these days.ppl are racist against white ppl now. Its crazy how stupid ppl are, instead of ending racism they turn it around because of what Americans did.
I disagree with your test results. You are at least 70% hair.
Hilarious!
loloololol!
Excellent!!
Fabulous hair!!!!
I think someone missed the joke.
She clearly looks more white,but she also looks mixed .
Ms. Smith yes she definitely looks biracial to me as well especially with that hair.
veryserioz Yes but he don't look part African she do
she does look half black to me
Daphhh She do not look half black .She looks 1/4 like she is.
veryserioz not per se. Mixed race can go from white as paper, to dark as charcoal. Yes its more likely to have A darker skincomplexion , but it isn't nesscesary
You remind me of how Mariah Carey looked back in the 90s.
But prettier
@calaragazza she was but not as pretty

@calaragazza true. True .very true lol. I'm out.

Thx fam
im African, and in Africa, classification of race is more straight forward than in America, in my country. mixed race people are not identified as black but coloured, you're black only if both your parents are black
im brazilian and my country is like that too .....
We call mixed race people white or half cast in Nigeria, South Africans call them coloured.
Yeye Osun Do you consider North Africans as black?
Nicolette Benn not in Africa you mean in South Africa...mixed ppl are identified as colored.
+Vingadora Actually, that is not true. I live in Brazil and people are classified based on their color, not if they are mixed or not. Technically, most people called brancos (whites) in Brazil are mixed, just as most people called pretos (blacks) are mixed, but they simply have very light or darker brown skin. The people called pardo (literally meaning "brown skinned") are the "color" that is labeled as "mixed" in Brazil, basically the tanned or beige color.
In Brazil, a person can have a white parent and a black parent, but if that person is very light skinned with straightened hair, they could be called white, or if that person is darker brown with more Afro hair texture, could be called black, of if they look "in between" they are called "pardo." Brazil has "color categories ."
Literally full siblings in the same family can be considered as different "races" if they have different skin colors, but they are apart of the same "culture" (Brazilian culture.)
Seriously girl I'm biracial like you, my sister looks A LOT like you(beautiful) But be proud of ALL your heritage, that Irish and British is something to be proud of too.
I guess she might not be proud of it because she believes it came about in a really dark way.
@@chetachiabiaka674 the British liked to mix their Irish slaves with their black slaves. which explains why so many mixed blacks in America have Irish ancestry, besides english.
@Eliot Thexton I’m sayinggg like since when was white people slaves????🤨
@@isaiahgowdy7149 not quite slaves but treated the exact same way. They were indentured servants. There are stories/ actual documentaries of what the Irish went through. Just as horrible as black slaves. Most died on the boat to America.
They were split from their families. They were sold and auctioned to other people. If the master died they would then be owned by the wife. If they still owed money they would also give to the person who was owed money.
Since they couldn’t read or write many of them got screwed over on the time they had to serve. Some times their kids would be owned until they were 21. They also weren’t allowed to learn to read.
So yes people will say the Irish people were slaves. Bc they were treated as such. however bc of the terminology saying they had a contract and is legally binding they weren’t. Not to mention that they get time added if they had children. They got time added if they tried to run away. They got time added if they mouthed off or fought back.
The main difference between them is that once the agreed upon time a person was to serve came to an end they got to leave. But again, they had no where to go. No food.
Hate when people say they weren’t slaves just because of terminology. In the time they had to serve, that is what they were.
So yes they were. And no they weren’t.
Did she say she wasn’t proud. Why do people take it as a dig when someone identifies beauty in black features or herritage. No one complains when white features are glorified by biracial, so why should they feel ashamed for wanting the desire for their black inheritance to be present???
Bingo! We used to call my grandmother Indian when she actually was biracial. I guess they were ashamed.
People are only ashamed when they have white european ancestry. When it comes to every other racial group with racial slave owning & trading and/or ethnic genocide history, no one gives a shit. Everyone is happy to embrace african, arabic and latin european racist slave owners and genociders as their ancestors.
I laugh when I hear people proudly saying in this context, "I have latin european/west african ancestry!"
completely unaware of the possibility that they may have ancestors who directly participated in the trans-atlantic slave trade, you know, the ones responsable for the vast majority of african slaves being sent to the americas and enslaved there.
arab through all history they are the owner of the slave and that's why we have been fighting for many years because we like to be the owner until today we have an Indian,african,Chinese,Ethiopian,Bangladesh slave in the middle East.
nobody should be ashamed to be white nor ashamed of they're heritage at all
Kiki Doll maybe it was less to do with shame and possibly an attempt to feel nor "exotic" ... People still do it today. It's always cooler to be different/unique.
They used to be ashamed and or keep it a secret because rape was often the reason for the mixture of ethnicities
It's strange how in america you have this idea that you are black or white but elsewhere you'd just be who you are
vytae9 not really antiblackness is everywhere and so is Eurocentricity
In UK there is a lot less focus on race than in America. Its more about our different cultures, black people come from lots of different countries and so do the white people here. But in America both black and white people dont really know their true cultures so they just use race to enforce their culture.
Jorge... You hit the nail on the head. Europe didn't receive immigrants until the modern "PC" age. So of course it's not the same. They ingrained their racism on their colonies, and avoided most of that bitter division themselves by the simple fact that they didn't have to deal with other races where they lived in Europe. They basically dumped all of their racist imperialistic attitudes on other parts of the world, mainly the Americas, which has suffered a long-standing cycle that cannot be broken. Meanwhile Europeans get to act like they are away from it all, when in fact they started it all.
It is the sad truth. I had to grin when you mentioned everyone in the US thinking they have Native ancestry. It is so true. So many people I know have "rumors" of a Native American great-grandma. Nothing confirmed, of course. (In reality, it's usually black or white ancestry.) So yes, even if we have ancestors going back several generations on all sides, we feel like it's not good enough. The atrocities done to the Native people were just too terrible, too unforgivable. Our ancestors saddled us with guilt, and there's nothing we can do about it. If you're 100% Euro descent, deep down you feel like an imposter. But then if you're not white, you are bound to experience some level of dehumanizing racism. At least Latin America retained a lot of the Native blood. I wish the Native blood was a lot stronger here. In the US, there hasn't been quite as much inter-breeding between races. Too bad.
Here in Europe it's about nationality. I get a lot racist (if you can call it that) remarks about my polish family part. It's not about your race, It's about your nationality. Racism on another level yay!
This might sound strange, but when I did my DNA test with Ancestry, I read that you get 50% of your DNA from your mom, and 50% from your father. The thing is, the father 50% from each side, is a Random 50% of each of their DNA..this means that your father could have Indian or Native American show up on his test, and you not have a trace!! This was something I didn't know prior to taking my test!
Sorry for the typo... I meant to say that 50% from both sides, is a "random" 50%
Sorry but I think it is getting ridiculous.. This myth that keeps being refuted about African Americans having Native American in them. The light skin, long hair, shaped nose etc is all from the European slave masters or Black / White relationships..
I here what you're saying, but that's not at all where I was going with my comment.
Sorry to have come off as rude.. I just find it cringeworthy that 99% of African Americans claim to have Native American in them. It is impossible. We know that nearly the whole Indian population was wiped out by the early European settlers. So how can all the slaves have slept / reproduced or be related to Native Americans? I think more than 95% of them have European DNA than Native Indian DNA.
And on a lighter note. I think you are a really pretty and gorgeous young woman ;-)
Plenty of them do have Native American in them. Just because not many have taken a dna test, or at least posted many doesn't mean they don't exist. There are literally a few thousand here in NC and Va. My parents met at Pow Wow, but never married. She later went on to marry an African American man from which my 4 siblings(one deceased brother) were born. A big part of the problem is that many of those who belong to our tribes consider themselves Native American, and refuse to take dna tests as ALL tribal groups across the USA have. Some of them are as much Black as they are Native.
"74.2% European ... I was so scared I wasn't going to be black."

They ARE a minority! U wouldn't know it because of TV or the movies. If all the "POC" (people of color) are grouped together, then whites would be a minority. Even the KKK & White Power would reject Italians, Gypsies, Spaniards, Jews , and Arabs....Btw, the KKK were a democratic organization and they are the ones running the school system trying to push whitey guilt even though the majority of whites were against slavery. They are probably laughing at blacks calling themselves People of Color being that the term sounds so close to the word "colored." What color was Lincoln? What party was he? Show me a democrat run town and I will show you blacks killing blacks there! Dems took over the school system and are pushing illegals have more privilege such as govt assistance and scholarships over blacks and also give "POC" extra points like they are disabled because they automatically assume they are not as smart and not as affluent as Whites and Asians. This is what Affirmative Action was about. Life isn't about victim Olympics and shouldn't be about identity politics either. As long as you see yourself as the victim, you will be. Watch the DSA convention and see how many mental cases of white people are there and they are the ones fighting to keep illegals in the country...they are the real r@cists.... without illegals and economic refugees, they wouldn't have anyone to feel superior to somehow. If any of these people lived in the hood, they would want to get rid of illegals and economic refugees that are causing tax paying people much hardship.
Why the shock....she looks like a young Mariah Carey, who is also Bi-racial.
Classy-N-Clever-4EVA mariah carey was darker your very blind
Na, Mariah is Irish white and Venezuelan. She's pale, she tans like mad to appear darker.
Heh, i always thought danielle fishel was biracial. Apparently she’s just macedonian.
Rosa Lee her father is actually Afro Venezuela
Rosa Lee her dad is black and Venezuelan.
It really pisses me off to see all the people in the comments telling her what they think she should identify with. As soon as the video started, I immediately assumed that she was a biracial black woman. To my shock, she has much more European DNA than I expected, but that still hasn't changed how I view her. She was raised by her father, who is a black man. She is mostly familiar with the black side of her family. Thus, she has been raised her entire life as a black woman. SHE HAS EVERY RIGHT TO IDENTIFY AS A BLACK WOMAN. And I, as a person who's DNA is 100% Sub-Saharan Africa (mostly Southeastern Bantu) is more accepting of her than some of the people here who have less than 70% African DNA. What is up with that? Let this woman be.
CzarJuliusIII lmfaooooooooo well then I guess I can identify with being a white woman with my 23% European blood 😂😂😂
Feonalilly do you sis. If you feel like you're white, then go for it. Although I can't promise that Becky and them will see you as such. If Shaun King (a quadroon) can be one of the most popular BLM activists without anyone questioning it, then this lady has the right to identify with whoever raised her. Thus, she has the right to claim and embrace her blackness without the percentage police budging in on her.
+Czar JuliusIII Agreed. Throughout the entire forum, so many people seem to be forgetting that Black Americans are a culture, not a skin color. There are numerous figures in Black American history who were either biracial or had a biracial parent, and they were no less black in culture or heritage. This woman said she is mixed race, she is white and she is black. She has a Black American father. No one can give any logical reason why she should not be able to acknowledge and love the black aspect of her heritage. She didn't say she was brown skinned or dark skinned, she said she was black. Not only black, but black nonetheless.
Like I said, she's a biracial black woman.
this doesn't make sense lol
her father is mixed race therefore she is majority European. she IS a woman of European decent lets not deny that 70%+ lineage
being brought up in a predominantly black neighbourhood and family does not make you black. Stop it. Stop this nonsense claiming everyone with 20%, 15%, 5% african ancestry as solely black. wtf
she and i are not the same.
No one here has the right to tell her she isn’t black enough. To her prior knowledge, she is half black and half white. she embraced both obviously. just because this test told her she’s only 25% black that doesn’t mean she isn’t black enough. She’s still who she is.
Aya Hall I was going to say that exactly. Howww damn rude. She was raised that way. Like she'd know any different...how could she? That's WHY she got the test right? And they're all hating on her repeating literally just what she grew up being told. 🙄 ignorance
Aya Hall black enough for what?
she’s white. period. as soon as she has more white than black in her she is white. Not black but bi-racial and white. yall uneducated asf ew
oké Theres dark skinned people with more white than black dna so... are they white? No. I'm so tired of everyone else telling us what to be. Let mixed people be both and mind your business.
yippehanako lmao ‘scuse me?? i’m literally stating facts and u out here acting like this is coming from me myself. get educated please. also being black is in your dna so “darskskinned people” have nothing to do with it. There’s arabs with very dark skin but ate they black?? no, they’re arab.
You are 100% adorable. It's really refreshing how open you are to discuss your ethnicity.

Ha I am going to buy that hair. LOL
Sheila Hammons .. yes, pretty!
I want that hair too!
I got the same as her's
I have the same hair as her, except mine is shorter - but it's growing!
People have to remember that a person's heritage isn't only determined by percentages in the blood, but also the experiences of their families. She may be more white than black genetically, but that doesn't mean that the experiences of her black ancestors don't count, or that she has to deny having African roots at all. Shouldn't we be encouraging people to honor their heritage in all of its facets???
Virginia's Spoken Word Poetry didn’t hear that from her. She embraced both sides of here heritage.
Yes ma'am!
Virginia's SWP LOL! If people look white, claim to be white, I accept that. Why is it so difficult to accept that white people can have black ancestors and still be white people? I am black and have white ancestry from all four of my grand parents. Yet I am a black woman and pleased with my pigmentation. The experiences of my white ancestry is totally unimportant to me. These people were great grand parents who were dead when I was born. Accepting or denying roots is up to the person in question. You want to hear about the rape of two of my great grandmothers? I would prefer to deny the existence of the men who raped them. But it's to late and it doesn't matter any more.
It has been studied and stated that due to Sicilians and Africans inter- marrying in distant times, Sicilians / Italians have 10 per cent of African dna.
Look i agree she should be able to acknowledge she has african ties but she does not get to say she is half black and white she is 70 percent white not close to being black. But she can say to ignorant blacks that she is not racist for being white cause she is a product of slavery as well and not from masa's side but the slave side.
She is beautiful. 100%HUMAN
uhh, we're all 100% human wtf?... You need to look up what being a human is if you think people can be partially "not" human...

As an adoptee, with a unique ethnic look, I am so happy for people when they learn their ethnicity. I was so grateful that DNA became a thing in my lifetime, while I was still young enough to share with my children, etc. Peace and congratulations

Before I watch this I will guess that you are about 75% white 25% black.
man I am good :P
I guessed the same.... it's a bit obvious. But, well done all the same ;)
john smith Naw, 25% black? She looks 100% white, her hair could be 75% black 25% white.

How old is she
For a birds nest.
beauty is in the eye of the beholder, she may look good to you but I have higher standards.

We all have black ancestry
does anyone think she looks like brave girl

emine sadiki yes
no
emine sadiki no
You mean Merida (IDK if I spelt her name right(
I wouldn't call this ladies black in my country.She's looks mixed to me. There's nothing that shouts out she's a black women. She's 75% White when do we start calling people what they are. Jim Crow rules are long gone so let them go. You obviously have strong ties to the African American culture which is cool and fine but culture and DNA are two different things. It's ok to be mostly white and its ok to be white. God made you the way you are. Your beautiful. It's always good for people to find out there ancestry. Not hating

Thank you!!, finally someone with common sense, she is italian, and italians are latinos, (latinos are only europeans from the old roman empire, not latinamericans).
dan schroder nothing that looks black! her hair and her nose says nothing but black. No white women has hair like that unless she is mixed with African blood.
dan schroder in the US she’s black if she came to South Africa she would be considered coloured or mixed
You just took a dna test, turns out you're 100% percent a hair model. Gorgeous locks, sis!
Please know that Lighter skin has nothing to do with how much blackness a Black person. Don't go around and have that kind of mindset about Blacks. But I definitely agree with you on how a lot of Black Americans believe they have "Indian" in them, which the proper term is Native American. Indian is people from India(I'm half so I always correct people lmaoo). Can't call native Americans Indian cause thats what their oppressors thought they were when they "found" The Americas. But anyway def agree a lot of Blacks will say Native American but its not true, theres research on that most of them have European in them.
and you're so gorgeousss !!!
Bethany Morrison she's white most of her genes is Caucasian and she needs to stop leaning on the measly 25% which is nothing.
I was about to say the same thing. Light skin for black people does not mean mixed. My cousins and nephew are almost as light as her and they are 100% Nigerian. To be black does not mean that you are homogenous, all black people- not even in Africa- look the same.
+Nono Osuji exactly because I have fair skinned relatives whose test came back 78% African. Skin color has to do with what dominate genes you carry.
Bethany Morrison
You are so right.
She look like madison pettis.
Vin Dalf that's exactly who i thought it was until she talked.lol
Vin Dalf no...Madison looks funny to me...
Jess Carey I wouldn't agree but everyone has their own opinion.
that's so true but she kinda sounds like Yara shahidi
she looks like sofie dossi to me
You look like Madison Pettis
Yes, another mixed girl, too.
i had to google and yes you're right!
ikr i was looking for a madison pettis comment
most mixed women have this look. Jornee Smollet is another one. They look Black and White at the same time, but a little more White, in my opinion.

Out of Africa theory is debunked. And we know black people aren’t even closely related to neither caucasians and asians. Europeans descends from cro magnons.
Very nice response!!!
Please say native American, Indian is a whole different race of people which has nothing to do with the first settlers of the Americas, at least say Amerindian if you are referring to native people of America.
Yes, thank you!
👏👏👏👏👏👏 thank you from a Native American
also thanx from a N8TIVE
My step-father, brother, and two sisters are all native. I grew up with my step dad calling himself an indian, and my mother calling him an indian, and him and his other native friends referring to each other as indians. The day i called someone an indian i just about got knocked out, i assumed any name the natives i knew used to refer to themselves must have been correct and appropriate. To this day my family still refer to themselves that way but i now differentiate between native and actual indian. Still don't know why they choose to use that term to identify themselves, but i learned in a hurry it wasn't ok to say.
Growing up i dont even think i knew i was white, i ran around bare foot with a bow and arrow and a mini chiefs headdress, went to pow wows and remember watching fish get smoked on racks and native women chanting and smudging herbs. I think i just about died of shock the day someone saw me dressed that way and called me "racist" i was just a kid who dressed as pocahontas every halloween and idolized the beautiful native women. It hurt me a lot to realize the older i got the more i was no longer a cute little kid, and so got pushed away from the culture that gave me solace. My only positive childhood memories were of native culture so to become shunned as i got older for not really being native hurt my feelings. I cant even go to see my friend on the reserve without someone trying to beat me up because i'm white. It can definitely be confusing being a part of a family whose skin is not your own.
countys32 Native American that’s what you call Indians who are from the united states
Although a bit fair skinned, it's obvious she has African DNA
Yep, but isn't that what the test said?
Also, if you passed her in a crowded airport you would not see the African DNA
You would see enough to know she isn't white.
Dale Jones not true. I still would assume she is white. Why do black people think curly hair automatically means biracial. There are Jewish people with hair like hers. Legit no one but American blacks would consider this girl black.
You may assume she was white but it would be obvious to me that she is not.
So your dad is nearly half European
Opopanax not necessarily.. it depends really how much you take from one parent
I was so excited with you. You are a smart lady for figuring it out.. Many folks grew up saying Native American and we are finding out otherwise.
Right that’s what I’m saying!!!! That was very wise of her to figure out! Even though black people still gon clam that “Indian” (properly known as Native American) till they die😭😭
To address a couple of the comments that I see below: If you guys were to take a blue crayon and a yellow crayon and mix them together, what color would be produced? Green, right? If you saw that color on a piece of paper, and someone asked you what color it was, you wouldn't say, "oh, that's the color blue" or "that's the color yellow." Because you would clearly see the color green.
To me, you're not black, You are mixed with black, but that does not mean you are black. You are mixed and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. If you feel like you want to identify and let people know your a black women, no one is going to stop you, that's your choice. Though "race" (created by the white man) was suppose to be a classification based on physical traits, genetics, ancestry, etc... by the 17th century, people used race to classify others solely based on physical traits/phenotype, and that is how we are classified by race today.
Some people may argue, "Well, don't Black Americans have like 20% White in them, why are they still identified as black? Because race is classified based on phenotype, and we all know what 'black' looks like in the U.S. I do agree with the fact that it is MORE than just skin color, because not everyone identifies as 'black' even though they have 'black skin.' I think being black in America can also mean that you have ancestors who were slaves here, as well.
Anyways, for example, I come from a 1st gen family and was born to immigrants, and many in my family did not identified with black, and many people who I know who were born and live in Africa, do not identify as black because "race" is a system that was only created in the U.S. They identified with being Nigerian, Ghanaian, Ethiopian-American, etc. It's when you come to the U.S., is when this 'race' classification is applied, so for a large part of my life living here that's how I was identified (black). The whole race classification system is confusing because it was literally created by man. Because if you think about it, in the 1920's/30's, there were bi-racial people back then who would pass as white, and there would be some who would try to pass as white by straightening their hair, etc. and it sometimes worked.
All I know is that in the general sense, the definition of race TODAY is based on phenotype. I mean, if you guys think about it, it's a prejudiced system. We are literally judging someone based on how they look. Thing is, everyone does it. But I think Black Americans today though, are the only ones who basically let everyone be 'black' though, because you don't really see other races doing this. By this I mean, you could be 1/8 black, not even look it, and the black community here will still accept you. I'm not saying this is like a huge huge problem, all I'm saying is that doing this creates a superiority/inferiority complex in the black community (which already exists), and it really messes up the media image of what black beauty is, because if you look at the image today, it's mostly mixed or racially ambiguous women who are being portrayed as a black woman, when most black women today, generally do not look like that. Then you got all these little black girls growing up not seeing their appearance being portrayed in the media, etc. and it's like they grow up feeling ugly, not pretty enough, or whatever, etc. I don't want to get deep into this, because I've already said so much already.
Anyways, glad you got your results. But in my opinion, If I were to classify you based on race today, I would identify you as a white women before knowing your lineage. If I knew your lineage/background (which I know now), then I would classify you as bi-racial/mixed. But hey, that's just my opinion (my opinion does not mean anything and should not mean anything to you).
Jalisa
I can't believe I read the whole thing... 🤓. Good points. I agree.
+Jalisa It's always funny to me when people use paint and crayon color references to describe human racial classifications. The funny thing about paint colors is that if you combine all paint colors together, you get the color "black." But I digress.
First, "race" and "racial classification" was not created only in the US. In fact, it was created in Latin America before it was in the United States, because it was the Portuguese and Spanish who created the transatlantic slave trade. The British joined in later. Only about 5% of enslaved Africans went to the United States, the majority went to Brazil, the Caribbean and other South American countries.
The word "Negro" as we were called way back when in the United States, was the Spanish word for black, which is still common to hear in Latin American countries when describing black people. The word "negro" is an official racial classifications in most Latin American countries today.
Basically, in all of the Americas and the Caribbean, those classifications existed. And for those who know Latin American history, a form of the "one drop rule" unofficially existed in many Latin American nations also, except with a reverse concept known as "whitening."
Countries like Brazil, Cuba, the Dominican Republic, etc actively encouraged blanquemiento/branquemiento (whitening) to "improve the race" (mejorar la raza) by breeding out the blackness. That idea was basically like tthe one drop rule in reverse, that to mix with white made you close to white, which was the ideal and completely non-black. Over time, the idea was to completely phase out the black populations from those countries.
It's one of the reasons why to this day in many Latin American countries, many people, even darker skinned people, downplay African heritage and constantly emphasize mixture over black identity. It's because their historic culture taught them "mixture" was superior to blackness, because it was closer to white. There are still a considerable number of Latin families who encourage their children not to marry or have children with darker skinned members of their own cultures.
Look at the official census of Puerto Rico. For all the talk of being mixed, officially 75% of Puerto Ricans on the island racially self identify as "white," despite having a mixed race category on their census. In Cuba, 64.1% self identified as white, again despite multiracial heritage. Brazil, 47% self identify as "white" despite being the most mixed race country in the world.
And people want to call the one drop rule detrimental? At least that rule, despite its origin, gave black Americans of multiple skin colors an ethnic identity to unify around. Go to any Latin American country, and in every single one of them, you rarely see black people in any well paying jobs, they have very little social mobility and commonly live in slums and are routinely subject to military police harassment.
And two people in the same family can have different "racial classifications.' Literally, two siblings with different skin colors are can be considered two different races and treated completely differently in society, despite being apart of the same national culture.
Compared to that, I'll stick with the one drop rule, thanks.
Where does this idea that the concept of race was invented by a white man during the trans-atlantic period, come from, if not from modern ignorance? Why don't you start with its etymological origins?
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Historical_race_concepts
+Taqiyya is dark and full of taharrush "Race" in humans in the concept of "skin color-based race" (i.e BLACK people, WHITE people, etc) did originate with white people during the transatlantic slave trade. Prior to that, human beings were not classified into "races" by skin color, but by national, cultural or ethnic origin.
Do you honesty think and believe people on the African continent were calling themselves "black people" and referring to themselves as the "black race" before they encountered "white people?" There was literally no concept of the "white race" or the "black race" prior to the slave trade. Everyone in the ancient world was referred to by the land they came from, the ethnic groups they came from, and the cultures they came from.
Before talking about modern ignorance, why don't you read some scientific journals and actual history books as opposed to a Wikipedia page?
Taqiyya..., Race and racism originated with capitalism and the slave trade....

75% white 25% black??
derek walls 😂😅she's basically white and she knew it the whole time she told everybody I've been watching her vids for a long time so I knew this was coming
She’s a white women who has black in her!
That's basically white though....
White Americans (European Americans) on average are: 98.6 percent European, 0.19 percent African and 0.18 percent Native American. Around 3.5 percent of self-described white Americans have 1 percent or more African ancestry. Ironically Southern White Americans have the highest instances of this, especially in Louisiana and South Carolina.
Kristina Reed haha y'all racist. Glad she isn't up to your standards of blackness
Shes adorable reminds me of a young Mariah carey.
Same
She doesn't look like Mariah at all other then the hair. She looks more like a slightly more "ethnic" version of Keri Russell from the 90s
I know a girl who is about 75% black and 25% white (she did a DNA test too) and she's even lighter than Alexis. And both of her parents look black and consider themselves black. Skin tones just jumble together differently for different people.
Gorgeous girl! Lovely skin, beautiful eyes, and that hair! Thanks for sharing something so personal with us. No matter what anyone says, you represent both sides beautifully and are proof that love knows no color.
Thank you Delia! I encourage you to check out my vlogs as well I think you may like them

I would have just thought u were white with curly hair
25 percent isn’t much compre to her European. She clearly has wayyy more European
Robert Martin shes mixed
Reina Guzman she looks mixed, but her 25 percent of African is not a lot, it’s just surprising she has low African considering how she looks. I’ve seen people who have 20 percent African and the rest white, and you wouldn’t even tell they had some African in them, or mix. To me she looks half and half.
@@reinaguzman9030
She'd be 50/50 if she's mixed. Instead 75% white, 25% black.
@@suzannenoel3078 but quarter one race and three quarters another is usually considered mixed by most. 50/50 is mixed too but also it holds the exclusive claim of biracial, but 75/25 is still a mix
Gorgeous hair.
Question: If you would have lived with your mother, would you identify as white?
Most likely she would. I have mixed cousins who have been brought up in my English family, they look about as white as she does and they identify as English. Most people will identify with the ethnic identity they are raised in.
Alandra Bradshaw I doubt she would because she doesn't look white
based off of her personality , I would say she wouldn't .
bittersweettruthful What, no. It's because of the one drop rule.
Christal williams She actually looks whiter than the people on my mom's side of the family, who are Calabrese-Italian (their skin is darker, brown/black hair, dark brown/"black" eyes, etc...), so yeah, she very well could have identified as white, if she would've been raised as such, and no one would've thought anything of it.
So... What the heck was the shocking part about all this.?
Ell McMeniman [international K-Trash] ..Ikr, she looks Black and White and she is, what

@@baneeification I always laughed at those "oh, I'm not enough diverse" worries that US people have. *spoiler, every single person is diverse for being themselves, the smallest minority is the individual*

Dora Emo... right, cuz you are both our all, can't just pick
there is only the human race. Putting people in categories is a false construct.
No one said you have to pick a side. You are both sides so if people see you as such then thats that
But if you're white mixed with something else white people choose a side for you just saying
Niki Bronson goes both ways. My biracial daughter has been picked on for being light skinned all her life mostly by African American women who call her White. Just wrong.
First of all, you are a beautiful young woman. I did an ancestry test, also. It is awesome to see where your family is from! Please don't let DNA define You! You are an American. We are a mixture of all kinds of people!
If that happened in real life.
Good God... finally a sensible comment!
stfu I'm not mixed
I got the DNA test for Christmas but was kind of hesitant, but seeing this makes me want to know more :) Thanks and BTW, you are beautiful and I can feel the love you have for your father!
Is your dads family from Louisiana? Sounds like that side is creole.
Stephanie Younger my mom is creole, making me half, but a lot of Louisiana creoles also have native in them or are rumoured to be so it sounded like she might me.
Yep shes an octaroon.😂
@@emilymejia3656 no creole's usually get french italian or spanish or some kind of southern european.
You should have encourage your father to take a DNA test
Father could have Native American DNA , but not show in her.
Yes because when females take the DNA test it only shows your maternal side somebody from your family that is a male has to take a test in order for you to get results for your paternal side

Jemima right
I found this very emotional, I could hear the emotion in your voice ❤️
It's interesting to hear that you're a little over 20% African since you clearly look mixed. I have about 20% African DNA in me but I look totally white, I was pretty surprised. It's interesting how pigmentation can vary so much to the point where some people can have similar DNA ancestry but look very different. (I have no known African ancestors)
Some or a lot of ppl show some traits once they are in the 20s%. Especially for African, strong genes.
Well, now you have unknown African ancestors. Many mixed race families I know you are aware of passed for being "completely" white and never spoke of their African lineage. They wanted a easier life. omg
“I was so scared that I wasn’t going to be black” you are so funny 😂😂😂😂😂 either way you’re still beautiful and I enjoyed watching your video ☺️❤️
Mamamia stop trolling meanie
She could only claim black in America because of the white supremacist "one-drop rule" that we Americans love so much. In any other country people would look at her like shes crazy if she said she was black 😂🤣. I identify as black here in the states but when I travel I identify as a biracial American of African and European ancestry. Who knows maybe the one drop rule will spread around the world and I'll have to identify when I travel abroad as black in the future lol. Oddly enough I know alot of black Americans that would be happy if that actually happens for some strange reason.
Youre super awesome for saying that...peace on !
Thats kind to say, need more people who are kind in this crazy world..rock on!
@Crusher Corps how she is 74% European
I am sure you heard this before, but you resemble a young Mariah Carey. Love your hair!!

I am Brazilian and my results have shown that I am 14% African. I have 5.2 from Nigeria and 8.8 from North Africa: Morocco, Algeria, Lybia and Egypt and I am very happy about it! Although I do not look black descendent I fortunately always knew how to respect all ethnicities! Her results are very interesting with the Irish (I also got some Irish (27%) and could never ever imagine this side of my ancestros).

Which makes it confusing for me because I thought that white people hated black people
that's not true, most white people don't mind black people
Damona Squire it's more of the older generation who tend to dislike black people because of how they were raised
Well, there might still be some Native American DNA in your familly that you didn't inherit. Many people forget that we take 50-50% from each parent, who took half from their parents. If you have a brother/sister, the two of you might have a completely different DNA map, depending what you inherited.
P.S don't mind all the people in the comments who say you're not black. It's your life you can identify as whatever/whoever you want! ^_^
Danae Slavova don't lie to that girl .. wait your right.. she can identify as whatever she likes it just doesn't make it true ...
+jellafigo22 You're correct, it doesn't make it true to YOU. It's true for HER, the person in question. Do you let people decide who you are? If so, all the power to you and everyone who decide for themselves.

She is Mulato.
Mulato = White + Black
Mestizo = White + Aboriginal (American Native or Asian)
Zambo = Black + Aboriginal
Apiñonado = Mestizo + Mulato
Athelas lmfao. Maybe because it's based on facts? The test said she was 3 quarters white. If anything she'd be identifying as neither black or white.
I'm guessing you're also those people who deny science and like to let people choose whatever gender they are, despite all the science.
Deny reality all you want, doesn't make it true.

The exact same thing happened to me! I was told my entire life that my grandfather was half native and found out I am 1% Chinese, 1% Polynesian, 25% Western European, and 73% African, mostly Western instead. I figured my green eyes came from some European blood and now it seems to be confirmed.
Lol ppl are arguing about her "blackness" gosh " well you are only 20% 25% that don't make you black" lol embrace your ethnicity, how hard can that be?
nightwishnemo she's trying to look more black than she is by doing her hair like that
aurazach lol 😂 I love how u think she purposely did that. That’s how her hair grows.
nightwishnemo because of her skin color? You can kinda see her "blackness" on her facial features. Some "blacks" have tan/brown skin so are they not "black?" It's basically identifying someone on what you see but reality most of us are mixed. Let her embrace it!
nightwishnemo but what is this based on? Like I've really seen this attitude and ideas placed on Asian, Blacks and Whites. "Forget your dna, if you don't look like it you ain't it." We have such a sad mentality of separation that unity is no longer an option? Mixed kids have it worse with this identity problem because "they are not white enough" "they are not black enough". Still why deny them the right to be proud of their roots?
nightwishnemo lol reality is that the problem isn't them, it's use. Parents can give them as much advice on their identity and confidence but like you say reality likes to categorize so what is she when she is not black enough for the black community and not white enough for the white community. I do not agree that we have to follow these ideas of categorizing that's why our ideas change through time, if only just a little. Plus as individuals it's our choice if we become a part of the heard or break away to better ideas.

@@anthonyscully2998 Mulata..
In Brazil she would be perceived as white.
How beautiful you are... Completely honest .. and you seem like the happiest person in the world. Your father must be so very proud of you. Inspiring!
Gorgeous hair
Gorgeous girl!!! ♥
You look a lot like my grand daughter!! Congratulations on your findings. I'm impressed that you took the time to research your ancestry.
Dear, continue doing YOU. Thank you for sharing your results and please remember that You don't have to explain yourself to ANY of these internet Race Gate-Keepers, lol. That's the prevailing problem with people; they think they can dictate how others see themselves. NewsFlash: YOU CAN'T! Move along.
+Uniquaization I truly respect your posts. You have a really intelligent perspective. It's refreshing to see in this types of forum.
Thank you +David Elliot and I whole heartedly say the same about you! If you're on Facebook, please join my Boycott Group: facebook.com/groups/1115306491878467/
Hey, she looks like Mariah lol
Midnight yeah, white lol
Hey, Lena Horne was the same shade LOL
lmaooo
Have you seen Mariah?
That's the first DNA test I took. Without knowing the results, you look mostly European with some African in the mix.
Your genetic makeup:
- 30% smart
- 30% pretty
- 30% charming
- 9% adorable
- 1% Ashkenazi Jewish
😂
u look like a young mariah carey
The End omg yesss
The End truth
Mariah carey is mostly european with some african roots aswell, so thats most likely why (no hate)
The End I thought the exactly the same thing!!!
Barely.. I think you just feel that way because she's mixed.
Daddy said where's the Indian? No shit? lol
Can you do an update with your fathers results?
i guarantee it'll be a surprise. the results are missing all the information from her entire Y-chromosome, because it's impossible for women to get those results. she doesn't understand that women can only test their Mitochondrial(ignores all males contribution to DNA) or Autosomal(only random recent relatives) DNA(both of which aren't very accurate past 5-6 generations), so her results will not show any ancestors past 150 years ago or so. She must get her brother to do a DNA test on the Y-chromosome to get her real results. the ones that test female heritage only or random places through the entire genome are not very accurate. the real tests cost close to a thousand dollars
You have to remember that even though she has no Y, it will still pick up her father and grandfather's maternal DNA.
drip drop 😒
Her father will pass down his X chromosome to his daughter from his XY chromosomes
Drip drop: The Y chromosome has limited DNA material, and will give little ancestral info. It can identify individuals in the male line, but the other chromosomes are much more indicative of ethnic/family heritage. I'd suggest you educate yourself a little more on how genetic inheritance works. isogg.org/ is a good resource for understanding the science and interpretation of results.
Thank you for embracing all your heritage. I took mine a lot matches my thoughts, however my Cherokee Indian did not come up, because they don't test their DNA to help match us. So proud of you. I can't wait to see my sister's results soon! Wish us luck.
Has a Nigerian its so shocking to realise how many of these DNA results get a % of Nigeria in them. Growing up the slavery thing always seems so far fetched for me maybe cause I grew up in Africa but seeibg this vids and lots of this descendants are actually my people I don't know, is it weird that I cried? Don't judge me pls, unlike most African Americans I never knew much about the history of slavery or have that incline to grive the slaves, so it's kinda just hitting me. It feels weird.
Trust me if you know where you come from and the atrocities you grieve for their suffering. I cry often.
I'm white (Eastern Europe) and my husband is Pakistani, but if our daughter got a heritage DNA test and it turned out that there was some British blood from my husbands side due to colonization it doesn't make him less Pakistani, so why would people think it would be ok to completely erase my daughters ethnicity on her fathers side? Y'all are messed up in the head. She even talked about how it was possible that the British/Irish was probably a result of rape during slave times. I don't get how that's even on her since 50% of her whiteness was from mom. From what she knew her dad is black and her mom is white; from the sound of it her mom wasn't in the picture so of course she leans more towards the black side personally since she was raised like that. Y'all don't listen.
That's a little different because the Brits colonized Pakistan/India and his mother is British/Irish so obviously it would show a higher concentration of British than Pakistani in Zayn Malik if his fathers line was tainted as the result of colonialism.
+Alaine Aryes Actually, Pakistanis do not have any recent British blood for the most part, and British colonization in Pakistan was limited... However, they do have Ancient Nordic blood from the Aryan invasions of India, which is between 5 and 15% in most Pakistanis.
Travis lemongello I know your going to hell lmao
I'm muslim lol
Alaine Aryes u dont look white tbh
Your DNA matters not. You are Human. THATS the only thing that matters. Be proud of that.
Nice idea but scientifically incorrect
right, it should be just for entertainment purposes..it doesn't change who u are.
Such a complicated thing to deal with as someone’s thats biracial. We all hold minority dna higher in our identities. Especially when raised a different way with that racial identity. My wife and I as well as my sisters did the ancestry dna test. She always thought she was Native American and Irish. Turns out she was mostly English and Scandinavian. My results where also different. Thought I was Swedish and Italian. Turns out I’m Irish 2/3 and my little sister is only a half sibling. She has contacted various people she’s related to one that’s a first cousin that won’t respond to efforts to reach out. All we have is her initials. We separated from my mother for a few years in foster homes before she was born. Doesn’t remember who the father could be just put my dad as her father. My dad just took her in as his own. Hopefully more people do the test and she’s able to find who her biological father is.
Just FYI the "y" chromosome follows more true than the "x" chromosome. If your dad did the test you would know more accurately his side of your DNA. It would show more accurately the longer DNA trail. Being female you don't have the "y" chromosome so that part of your heritage (even thought it's not in your DNA. It would be in a brothers). So have your dad do the test and your mom get a male on her side to be able to see farther back in your DNA trail. The link below explains it a bit better.
blog.23andme.com/23andme-and-you/whose-y-to-use-paternal-ancestry-for-ladies/
Ancestry & MyHeritage DNA tests base their results on the 46 chromosomes, rather than the X & Y chromosomes. In this case, it can trace back both the maternal & paternal bloodlines. 23andme bases theirs on `the X & Y chromosomes. So with theirs, a woman must have a separate Y chromosome test done on their dad, or uncles, in order to trace back the paternal bloodline. Myheritage does offer a separate X & Y chromosome test too, but the main test already detects both parent's DNA in the person taking it.
is that the Samsung galaxy 35?
Lmao it’s a tablet 😂
And it's an apple
I Don't know why but I have watched I've 50 ancestry DNA tests, all from black people or mixed with black people and for some reason every single one if them have a percentage of Nigerian in them, I'm full Nigerian(for all I know anyway) and it makes me think that everyone originated from Nigeria and countries around there
I think most of us here in the Americas (that have been here for generations) that are of African descent have ancestors from Nigeria and surrounding countries, because of the African slaves from the western parts of the African continent. Some of us will have more or less than others, but yes. Nigeria almost always seems to in the mixture.
I'm half African American/Creole (dad) and half Asian (Taiwanese mom).
I have Southeast Asian, East Asian (Chinese), African, European (France, Spain), and Native American results on my test.
On the African parts, my highest match was Benin/Togo, followed by Ivory Coast/Ghana, then followed by Nigeria. Then followed by the other African countries/group.
If I'm not mistaken: Igbo, Yoruba, Akan, etc are from the Nigeria/Ivory Coast areas? I tend to get those groups when I run the tool calculators on GEDMatch.
What do you mean jare? Nigeria didn't exist until the late 19th century, and the region has always beenheavily populated And certain groups in Nigeria profited heavily from the slave trade and used it to completely terminate other Kingdoms (the Oyo dynasty was completely wiped out).
Hey, 75% Black 25 % White is basically every DNA test on here. Hers is more like the tests from Puerto Rico except she's 75% White and not 23 with the rest being Taino . They probably get mad when the DNA test talker starts talking about Indian Blood when they mean Native American and they have about 1% but when they find out they have 10 South Asian blood they forget all about Indians. (even thought they have plenty in India which is in Southern Asia LOL.) Her African was higher than I would have guessed. I thought about 20%
Hey, I'm looking at people and when I see wide flat noses I see Cameroon in everyone and it surprises me when they say Nigeria. No one is ever from Southwest Africa or Central Africa. Where are the Pygmies?
Hey, I'm biracial, too.
I'm half African American/Creole (dad) and half Asian (Taiwanese mom).
I'm 28% African (mostly West African countries)
20% European (Mainly French (Europe West) and Iberian Peninsula (Spain)
2% Native American
37% Asia East, 13% Polynesia
It is so interesting how times change. My mom (born in the late 1940's) was about 50% African and 50% European based on DNA, but since both of her parents identified as black, she identified as black. Based on the DNA results of her children, my grandmother (my mother's mother, born in the late 1920's) was less than 25% black, but she grew up in the "one drop rule" era, so she would get offended if you referred to her as anything other than black.
Whatever your combination -- you are beautiful. I regret the past enforced on peoples but I enjoy seeing DNA results that show most people are not exactly what they think. Most are not anywhere near the level of Native American that they think. One other thing for you to do is upload the raw data to GedMatch.com so that you get additional matches to results from other testing sites.
I'm multiracial also and I did the 23andme DNA test and I was crazy anxious to look at my results too,lol.
genuinely confused as to how this is "shocking." Like you already knew that you were italian, white, and black...and thats what you look like too. All this click bait
This video makes me sad. She just wanted to find more whiteness. She's almost... Just ALMOST light enough to pass and just just can't accept that she's black and white. She wants to be white with some black in her. I'm married to a white man. We don't have any children yet. I'm going to pray. Geesh. 😩😭
