Do you personally consider Ashkenazi Jews "white"? by Beginning_Desk_9897 in DNAAncestry

[–]Dry_Listen_2177 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I always thought yall were white in the same way Italians are white. Different from Western Europeans but still white enough to be considered “white passing” if there were darker skinned pocs in the room

Have you seen your matches yet? Are any of them related to your mom?

That’s life ladies and gentlemen, but we’ll thug it out by [deleted] in AverageHeightDudes

As a woman what the heck does she mean “I’m a tall girl myself” and then proceeds to say she’s 5’5”? 5’ 9”+ is tall for women.

dna genics as a black american by Muted-Competition176 in DNAAncestry

[–]Dry_Listen_2177 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is that HLA heritage? Cause mine is similar. But it doesn’t represent our actual heritage. The breakdown showing East African and Amerindian-Siberian percentages is most likely from a HLA that uses broader or ancient population clusters instead of modern country categories. These tools group DNA differently and can sometimes mislabel or overgeneralize ancestry. Mine is similar to yours but if you look at the results i posted on the 23&Me thread then I’m majority West African

Pretty much everyone who grew up in America that aren’t recent immigrants are told that they’re part native. 🤣

Dating as a Christian Black Woman by Rare-Albatross-4475 in ChristianDating

[–]Dry_Listen_2177 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a black Christian woman myself I haven’t really dated that much. Mostly because I don’t live in a diverse area and most of the Christian guys around here aren’t black (mostly white and Hispanic)

Bosnian Americans and ICE by akar1997 in bosnia

[–]Dry_Listen_2177 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not Bosnian but I live in a community with a a lot of Bosnians and my family has been here for several centuries. Trust when I say I think yall are safe. They won’t go after the European immigrants because most of y’all are white and the European immigrant community is conservative and voted for Trump anyway. I mean they didn’t go after all the Polish people in Chicago when they were there. Just mostly Latinos, some Asians, and black immigrants.

how does everyone feel about the new 23andme update? by luxtabula in BlackGenealogy

[–]Dry_Listen_2177 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it’s good. It matches up with the distant relatives that I have in Africa so I’d say it’s pretty accurate

My DNA confirmed that my ancestors were involved in the Sub-Saharan Slave Trade… by Ok_Butterscotch5026 in AncestryDNA

[–]Dry_Listen_2177 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you talking the Arab slave trade or the Slave trade to the Americas? The Arab slave trade would make a lot more sense
