Well most Mexicans are a mix between Iberian and Native American, “Mestizo” as people from like 200 years ago would say You can always take a DNA test to get your exact percentage. My friend is from Latin America as well and she’s about 60% Iberian, 30% Native, and 10% African. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

StrawberryBlond 13,973 Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 I find it odd how you are very specific about Katy's 18% Portugese ancestry (which is in Europe) but everyone else's multiple country European ancestry is all put into one big group filed under 100%. I know you don't know the exact percentages and what they allude to but in that case, maybe file each one under 25% or thereabouts if they're perhaps equal parts of all these different ethnicities? On this one, you're also very specific about Nicki's mixed Trinidadian and Indian heritage, but in your other thread, you say the likes of Janet Jackson and Whitney are 100% African American even though you say afterwards that they have roots outside these areas. And African American isn't an ethnicity anyway - the country in which you were born doesn't neccesarily have any connection to your skin tone and race and nationality don't have any correlation (this is why I don't like the term African American/Asian American, etc because it is only used for non-whites and no one ever calls themselves European American even though every white American has European ancestry). I know you maybe don't intend for it all to be that deep but I just thought it was necessary to set some stuff straight. 16 hours ago, RAMROD said: Most of these are just screaming "white af" Like, greek, irish, germany, dutch...., they are just caucasians in the end Um...don't you think what you said was a bit problematic? "White af?," "Just" caucasians? Suggesting all causasians are the same? Putting laughing emojis at the end? I'm not saying that you set out to say offensive things but you're unintentionally being rather trigger happy with how far you can push it. I don't think you'd get away with the same sentiments if they were aimed at non-whites. I think it's unfortunate how we've been normalised into believing that certain things are ok to say to whites that would considered in very poor taste if they were said to other races.

If you're from the centre of the country, you might get something similar to me. I'm 28% Iberian, 16% Southern European, 3% North-Western European, 1% Italian, 0.3% Jewish. 36% Native American, 1% Filipino 2% Sub-Saharan African 1% North African/ West Asia. Trace regions are Jalisco and Sicily. These are not the exact numbers, but this is what I remember.

Obviously I'm assuming haha. But we Mexicans are mostly of Iberian and Native American descent. pooiota Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know you maybe don't intend for it all to be that deep but I just thought it was necessary to set some stuff straight. I got all the information on Ethnic Celebs. Some of the genealogy is broken up, while others are not. I didn’t intentionally group them all big on purpose, that’s just how they were separated on the site. Sorry if that made you question my intentions. Anyways, on the premesis of African American, it’s kind of a fake ethnicity. Ethnic African Americans, to me, are people who’s African roots are untraceable due to the slave trade. If someone is African American that means their ancestors were slaves from the trans Atlantic slave trade (and based off history, these are mostly West African people). For example, I don’t consider Obama half African-American, because his father does not have that history (his father is from Kenya). He would be half Kenyan. Also most African-Americans are obviously mixed with Europeans (mostly slave owners... and, you can get what I’m insinuating, although this isn’t always the case) and sometimes Native Americans. You can’t really be specific on these separations. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NCgaga 4,276 Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 Gaga Looks exactly what she is. Her Mom has northern Italian Roots/scotch Irish and her father has southern Italian Roots. You posted the most tan/brunette picture of her. She has a stereoptypical italian nose, she is short. But she is not naturally tan like southern Italians are. ARIANA- Yes she is 100 percent Italian American. HOWEVER- she loads on the spray tanner and plays a racially ambiguous popstar. Ariana does look like she may have Berber in her( a lot of sicilians do). Racial ambiguity is a thing. Kylie Jennar does it(She looks like her half armenian sisters) put has no armenian in her blood. Christina Played the racial ambiguity card when she would pile on the fake tanner, Dyed her hair black, Just to increase her latin fan base. Mariah is Irish American and Black/venezuelen- but she played the racially ambiguous roll for quite some time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
