Yes your test is wrong because it's IMPOSSIBLE that you don't have African DNA. You wouldn't be human if you didn't have African DNA. What were the results of your DNA test? If it says any percentage of European that mean you have African DNA in you too.
Not true. That is controversial for a reason. Europeans are not African. If I had African dna it would say African. My lineage started in Europe
No, not everybody is African in the sense that they necessarily share traits which are commonplace among Africans, but that doesn't mean they aren't distantly descended from Africans, it just means the traits of their more recent ancestors changed enough thoughout history that they are different at the marginal level (things like skin tone, hair color, eye color etc... are all miniscule fractions of our DNA). We're all descended from people who originated in Africa. It doesn't mean we're all Congolese or that we all have black skin.
i didn't trust those tests right from the start, but then, i'm paranoid and suspicious.
All modern humans are descended from people who move out of Africa, therefore like it or not you have African DNA in you. Europeans have extra DNA in them like some stuff from Neanderthals BUT they also have a core of Africa DNA in them.
Europeans are not African you dumbass lol. There are different races sorry to break it to you.
That's not what he's saying. He's saying that all humans evolved from people originating in Africa. So if you go back far enough, you will find Africans and DNA. Thus African DNA.
No moron all Europeans are descendants of Africans. We are all related to Africans due to our origins. All modern humans came from Africa. Now deal with it.
yeah, they're completely unscientific, at least at the ethnic level (a little less so at the "racial" level, since things like black vs white skin are easier to detect, though even there, a Melanesian or dark skinned South Asian could be mistaken for an African).
if they shy away from their african heritage, they are not afro latinos.
from what i understand, places like Puerto rico really don't make a fuss over afro heritage, probably because it's pervasive, other places, I don't know. Each country would probably be a little different. Brazil has dark black people and I don't think they are considered very highly. I knew a brazilian lady in my church and i remember we had an african preacher who she was told to give a ride, she asked us teens to come with her because she was scared. Whether she realized or not, she was most likely part African, or at least she looked it to me and she had a huge ass, she should have been scared of me.
Your american concept of race is completely different from the latin american concept of race.
that's right. most of the latin american countries have a pretty basic caste system, the indigenous on bottom, the mestizo in the middle and the "white" or Spaniards. So, Mexicans might take being called Indian an insult, in fact, from what I hear, they treat the indians worse than america does these days. It's different here in america, a half-breed like me would in older times be thrown to the wolves with the rest of the Injuns', which is, they didn't get accepted as white.
You were talking about that brazilian lady having some african ancestry which she may or may not know about, she probably knows she isnt white, that doesnt make her black or afro latina. My point was that the usage of afro latino is often used falsely by americans because they don't have the one drop rule like the united states.
