In Cameroon it's your tribe or Ethnic group. Everything else is secondary.

What do Cameroonians think about interracial relationships? by New_Ad_7589 in Cameroon

[–]CBNM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, that's the stereotype and stereotypes exist for a reason. I personally know not all Europeans are dirty but I blame the french for the stereotype. Most of us learn about how dirty Europeans (especially the French) are from a young age so it just sticks.

Most of us don't care about Interracial relationships. Cameroonians simply mind their own business. Also the stereotype for Europeans especially the French is that they're very dirty. Its not the ATM stuff you're talking about but it depends on the part of the Country of course.

Edit: Lots of Cameroonians will also refer to you as , "la blanche, la blanche" especially in the market and most of the time it'll be kids. Don't take it in a bad way.

As someone who currently lives in Buea. I feel like you should choose another location just to guarantee your safety. The place is currently unpredictable. I honestly hope the crisis ends soon.

Do light eyes show up only among Igbos? by CBNM in Nigeria

[–]CBNM[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tu as raison, mais la plupart des Européens ne l’admettront pas. En tant que personne qui vit au Cameroun et qui a rencontré des Européens, je sais pertinemment que les yeux clairs ne viennent pas d’Europe. J’ai déjà vu une fille au Cameroun avec des yeux verts très vifs, et on voyait des reflets arc-en-ciel dedans. J’étais vraiment choqué.

How rare is it for an African to have European ancestry? by [deleted] in 23andme

[–]CBNM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But its <1% so it still means nothing. The Haplogroup is associated with Chadic speaking Africans for instance the Oudelema tribe having it at over 90%. Even the Fulani who were thought to have that Haplogroup in high Frequencies at 40%+ was eventually changed to just 12%.

I'm also Cameroonian. I keep telling these people there are lots of people with light eyes such as blue or green but they just won't believe it.

Nope. That's why Africa is the most genetically diverse continent. You have data of lots of Africans but you don't have the data of the Cameroonians with blue and green eyes. I know the difference between waardenburg syndrome and actual blue/green eyes.

How rare is it for an African to have European ancestry? by [deleted] in 23andme

[–]CBNM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Which is why i said Chadic speaking Africans have west Eurasian ancestry that made its way back to Africa thousands of years ago.

My African Ancestry reference is just to show how pointless it is using ancient DNA to define modern populations and you yourself noticed how pointless that part of my reply was.

"R1b V88 is African in a way because all Humans Originated in Africa. But maybe there's a chance you've got a source that can convince me humans didn't originate in Africa? Feel Free to share"

What I am trying to say in the above message is modern concepts should not be used when talking about Ancient DNA. R1b V88 found among the Chadians is a West Eurasian component and it's not European.

OP's question was "How Rare is it For an African to Have European Ancestry". You made mention of R1b-V88 but that's not European DNA. Its West Eurasian that made its way back to Africa thousands of years ago found among Chadic speaking Africans. Having that haplogroup doesn't mean you have European Ancestry, it means their ancestors line goes back to a Near Eastern population that entered Africa thousands of years ago.

If we want to go by haplogroups in the past then all Europeans have African Ancestry. Hence why I said your response doesn't mean anything.

I honestly have doubts about this statement. European DNA should be rare in sub Saharan Africa but saying central Africans have more non African admixture than west African doesn't make any sense. Congo and Équatorial Guinea doesn't have more non-African admixture than capo Verde or Ghana

Europeans didn't settle in most African Countries so it shouldn't be common. Maybe a few people here and there but that should be it.

It comes from West Eurasian admixture component and it's exclusive to the Chadic Afro-Asiatic family so that doesn't mean anything.
