A lot of Americans I know black and white claim to be partial native Americans dna but it is most likely a great great ancestor since not much dna is shown
@@streettravelxxi a lot of those claims are false too, apparently there is a term for your grandparents/parents telling their kids they have Native heritage in America.
@@kristijanEX Yea I had a friend named Nick in high school he was a regular white dude but he would always bring up being a quarter Native American almost as a “flex” or something. It’s cool if u r Native American but some ppl say it to sound more “unique” or some shit. Idk if anyone else realized this but u ever ask a white dude what ur background is some will be almost disappointed in there answer like “just white” lol like what’s wrong W that. Idek what I’m talking about anymore I smoked and started ranting lol
@@streettravelxxi i know what you're talking about, there's no shame in being "just" white. You could be English, Irish, French, German, Italian...etc.
I honestly mostly watch his videos to learn more about different people and there history. My biggest criticism is that sometimes he might suggest that that there are different "races"(genetically spiking). Now race is a social construct and it isn't real, but Racism is.
I would say that ethnicity is alot more usefull than race, though depends if that person is from their "ethnic homeland" so to speak or not, I as a norwegian must say I get quite annoyed when an american tells me he is norwegian, no you are not, you are ethnicly norwegian sure, but culture wise you are definatly a white american, the fact you tried lutefisk once does not make you norwegian. Eitherway, racial terms like Latino, or Asian are so usless in telling you what ethnicity someone actually is, an uzbek and a japanese person have very little in common, neither does a mexican and an argentinian. I mean Latino includes, people of african descent, mestizos, amerindians, whites, and more. Most mexicans are mestizo (a mix of native american and european, mainly spanish for obvious reasons) meanwhile a much larger prosentage of argentines are white, especially since when it was a top 5 economy in the early 1900s a large amount of europeans moved there.
@@CushiteChristian I'm not Norwegian, I'm German and that's just my opinion. I find it a little ridiculous when a person who looks like a Maori or a black man from the UK plays a Viking, because that's not what Vikings looked like... but there are a lot of people in the UK and New Zealand who actually look like they come fresh from Scandinavia, and if there's a good actor there... why not? I once saw a picture of a man who shares a brutal resemblance to Barrak Obama, but he's Indonesian. If someone comes up with the idea of filming Obama's biography, you would take someone who has the same Kenyan, Irish, British, Swiss, German, American roots as Obama (it would be difficult to find such an actor), .. .or Do you just take an actor who looks damn similar to him? So I personally would like to see the Indonesian... Of course only if the guy can act, I've seen too many bad actors....no one wants to see a wooden Obama.
You're Native American ? I only see the resemblances now that you told me, that is definitely a psychological effect.

@@kristijanEX exactly many american whites feel they r less interesting its possible since they lot that tie to their countries of origin

yes, do the genetic testing (and i suggest one that tests not only ancestry but health also, it can be helpful)

Hello. I'm late but as a Norwegian How do you feel to see a guy from New Zealand or United Kingdom play a Viking on a TV show or movie?
