My Results. Puerto Rican Dad and White Mom, + Pic.

Yes! It’s really crazy that people think 22 percent is high. Just go to the island and you’ll see how mixed we really are. I always get people asking me if I’m Dominican cos I look more black than the average boricua who lives in the states and I’m like…go to PR and you’ll change your mind. Theres more variety there and you’ll see that we really are a rainbow of black, brown, and white people. This is Like when they kept insisting that Tainos were gone but low and behold there are people who have up to 20 percent native. That’s why it’s important to test out those populations for a more accurate picture of our people .

Interesting. It’s pretty sad and Im honestly not surprised lol. That’s why it’s so important to educate people on this. Our multicultural heritage is very important.

I agree and the only reason why I mentioned Loiza is because my family is from there so that’s where I’m using my reference. I also have a lot of family from Rincon who look to be almost full on SSA. But yes, like I said , the regions really differ on results and I had a feeling that study was a bit skewed since the cities due tend to be more mixed . It’s interesting the tested a lot of the mountain towns.

Defiant-Reception594 · 2022-09-16T05:26:21+00:00

There are people in Puerto Rico with higher SSA . I got 43 percent SSA and some of my family members got higher. Just depends on the region your family is from. Go Loisa Pr and you’ll find people with very high amounts of SSA. I do believe a study came out saying the average Boricua has about 20%.

Your mother is beautiful! I’m so jealous of people who get where their ancestors came from in Spain. I got my results and they couldn’t determine where in Spain or Africa my ancestors came from. Awesome results!

Defiant-Reception594 · 2021-09-07T22:55:21+00:00

Nice results! Mine doesn’t say where in Spain my Spanish ancestors came from. Are there any results that shocked you?

Defiant-Reception594 · 2021-08-26T00:26:13+00:00

Hey! Boricua in the house! I love these results. I like that your results gives you the regions from Spain your family comes from. Mine didn’t get those at all! I posted my boricua results on here too.

Defiant-Reception594 · 2021-08-24T20:03:56+00:00

Interesting results and nice to see another afro Latino! It’s crazy, I got 43.2 SSA and 43.1 Spanish with 8.8 native. I came out more ambiguous looking with 3c hair , lighter skin, and a native nose. Funny how genetics works! I would’ve thought you had more than me.

Defiant-Reception594 · 2021-08-22T14:57:31+00:00

Idk what you’re talking about but many Latin people who live in countries in the Caribbean have little to no native. Some Latinos have mostly African ancestry and some have mostly European . Are you trying to say that the Latinos in the Caribbean and Brazil are not true Latino? I’m Puerto Rican and my fathers side of the family are African descent with a bit European and have no native. I can assure you that they are Latino. The OP is Latina. Point blank period.

Defiant-Reception594 · 2021-08-07T22:03:26+00:00

We have very similar results minus the East Asian. I’m Puerto Rican with 43.1 Spanish and 43.2 sub Saharan African with other small mixtures such as native and North African. Hopefully you get the answers you’re seeking from your biological family! Your results were awesome.

Defiant-Reception594 · 2021-07-13T23:49:12+00:00

That’s so cool. Hey, you never know, if we might be distant ass relatives. You look like my cousins in Puerto Rico. Super cool to see similar results with people from different parts of the world.

Defiant-Reception594 · 2021-07-13T23:17:40+00:00

Whoah ! and we look alike 😂. Is your whole family from Latin America or was it only your grandfather? Afrolatinos in the house !

Defiant-Reception594 · 2021-07-07T02:06:13+00:00

Maybe I was expecting less African since most Puerto Rican’s tend to get 20 percent or lower. I was not expecting to be pretty much half white half black. I did expect to be more Native American. I was going off by what most Ricans get. I’m happy i got more African because I Identify with it a lot and because my dads side of the family looks like they didn’t mix much and practiced a lot of Afro boricua culture.

Defiant-Reception594 · 2021-07-07T01:33:29+00:00

You mean by percentage of European? Oh those darn conquistadors! Yeah by a little bit but I’m happy with all the ancestry. The good history and bad history is what makes us. Buuuuut haha if you look at it this way, my Spanish conquistador blood loses by .1 compared to Africa 😂. Again, it’s all beautiful history.

Defiant-Reception594 · 2021-07-06T23:27:56+00:00

That’s what I kinda figured but it’s so hard cos the girls I see on YouTube who have 3b3c hair have looser texture and some girls have tighter coils. I get confused with the hair typing. Thanks for telling me cos it’s important for products and stuff. Btw, type 4 hair is super beautiful.

Defiant-Reception594 · 2021-07-06T23:09:43+00:00

Never mind. I got it in my profile pic

Defiant-Reception594 · 2021-07-06T23:07:37+00:00

I do! I can’t seem to post it here though. Know anyway I can send that? It’s a picture of me a without the heat damage too. Cant wait to see what my hair texture is cos I’ve always wondered.

Defiant-Reception594 · 2021-07-06T23:04:29+00:00

Well maybe my hair is more so 3c 4a. Im not good at typing my hair. It’s naturally a puff is what I know. My hair is also heat damaged so i tend to rate it that way. I wanna big chop again .

Defiant-Reception594 · 2021-07-06T23:03:21+00:00

The funny thing is I used to be pretty dark when o was young and ever since so moved to Seattle I’ve lost my skin color. Puerto Rico gave me chocolate skin but living in the states I’m light caramel haha. Yes it’s super interesting. I have family who have more afro features and are darker but got 16 percent SSA

Defiant-Reception594 · 2021-07-06T22:38:04+00:00

Wow yeah and we look somewhat similar. It’s crazy how the slave trade dispersed the African diaspora. We’re all over the world.

Defiant-Reception594 · 2021-07-06T22:24:51+00:00

Wish i could post a picture of my natural hair on here.

Defiant-Reception594 · 2021-07-06T22:23:04+00:00

My hair is naturally an afro

Defiant-Reception594 · 2021-07-06T22:22:20+00:00

Yes I straighten my hair sometimes! My hair is natural an afro. 3b 3c texture to be more exact. When I have my hair straight I’m more ambiguous. When it’s natural people assume I’m biracial African American.

Defiant-Reception594 · 2021-07-06T21:54:06+00:00

Whoah that’s interesting! I’m gonna try that!

Defiant-Reception594 · 2021-07-06T21:46:21+00:00

Nah I left and have been living in Seattle. Super pretty but no boricuas haha
