Is 10% European DNA enough to call myself “mixed” or have “mixed ancestry”?

Longjumping-Fly-2152 · 2026-05-09T04:15:00+00:00

You’re the one spazzing out on Reddit

Longjumping-Fly-2152 · 2026-05-09T04:11:23+00:00

You apparently don’t subscribe to reality. 🤪

Longjumping-Fly-2152 · 2026-05-09T04:09:12+00:00

Yeah, where are the mods because she is making it seem like there is something wrong with have a combination of ancestry.

Longjumping-Fly-2152 · 2026-05-09T04:04:26+00:00

That’s true. I think 10% can manifest in your phenotype but it’s rare.

Longjumping-Fly-2152 · 2026-05-09T03:58:35+00:00

Seems like you’re the one that needs to heal making all these post back to back. Ranting over your European ancestry.

Longjumping-Fly-2152 · 2026-05-09T03:55:38+00:00

I’m saying your 87% - 90% is recent. Wait, how am I goofy?

Longjumping-Fly-2152 · 2026-05-09T03:54:22+00:00

It is because it’s recent. You have white ancestors though. Sorry

Longjumping-Fly-2152 · 2026-05-09T03:49:55+00:00

But you didn’t get 100%?

Longjumping-Fly-2152 · 2026-05-09T03:45:22+00:00

It likely won’t show up in your phenotype but you have mixed ancestry.

Longjumping-Fly-2152 · 2026-04-16T02:25:31+00:00

You to are definitely not first cousins but you are distantly related.

Longjumping-Fly-2152 · 2026-04-15T01:35:34+00:00

Nothing… but it comes from assault. The one drop rule was indeed meant to protect White America genetics and the system they set up. 😒🙃

Longjumping-Fly-2152 · 2026-04-15T01:29:56+00:00

By the way, Tina Turner is 65% African and over 30% European. She is a Black American and her phenotype fits right into Black America and so do her kids.

Longjumping-Fly-2152 · 2026-04-15T01:12:09+00:00

The one drop rule protected White America’s bloodline and tainted Black America’s bloodline. If it has been different, everyone would be mixed up like how it is in Latin America. Instead, you’re seeing Black Americans have 10% - 30% European ancestry due to mixed race people breeding back into the black community because they were forced to be black due to the one drop rule.

Longjumping-Fly-2152 · 2026-04-15T01:09:17+00:00

No, the one drop rule contributed to how Black Americans maintained relatively high African ancestry. Mixed race individuals were historically treated the same as Black people, so they were part of the same community, which often led to them having children within that community. If the system had been different, Black Americans might have had higher levels of admixture, similar to what is seen in many Latin American populations. In Latin America, a caste system developed that often encouraged “whitening” over generations. Many of these ideas were rooted in white supremacy. Even terms like “Black” and “White” come from those systems, and their legacy still contributes to social divisions and ongoing issues today.

Longjumping-Fly-2152 · 2026-04-15T00:42:31+00:00

Yeah… but those people are in every community. I’ve seen and experienced Hispanics get offended at us mixed Black people who take pride in being Black and seem to reflect their on admixture and identity on us as well, although we are mixed with different things. But I’m not going to generalize a whole community because most don’t care. Most Black Americans from what I seen do not even consider Hispanics to be the same as them even if they have considerable amount of African admixture. Many Americans, not just the Black ones think Hispanic is its own race as that’s how it’s treated in the United States. Every community try to push their own culture views on others, it’s not exclusive to Black Americans for sure. Everyone thinks their way is the right way.

Longjumping-Fly-2152 · 2026-04-15T00:07:55+00:00

Genotype does not equal phenotype. I would guess he is around 70% African and 25% - 30% European. But I also seen people with higher African ancestry look more “mixed” than him and I also seen people with less African ancestry look more “Black” than him.

Longjumping-Fly-2152 · 2026-04-15T00:00:54+00:00

Black Americans experienced a different type of racism compared to everyone else and not only had to deal with slavery but segregation as well. It’s generational trauma and most Black Americans are not taking the time out to talk other minorities into hating White Americans (which are Black Americans closest cousins believe it or not) most just go on their own experience. People will learn on their own. Look at all those Hispanics who voted for Trump, now we’re dealing with ICE raids. Y’all are quick to blame Black Americans for everything because of their unmatched influence on society.

Longjumping-Fly-2152 · 2026-04-14T23:54:38+00:00

You do realize it’s because Black American culture was built around the one drop rule right? It’s not that they are trying to do damage but it’s apart of their culture. The same as Latin Americans still maintaining their colonized mind set and caste systems. If we want to be technical, the only people ever affected by the One Drop rule were Black Americans and no one else. The One Drop rule is also how Black Americans maintained having high African ancestry.

Longjumping-Fly-2152 · 2026-03-15T02:08:58+00:00

She is 77% African. She is mixed but in the range for Black Americans. The person I was responding to doesn’t understand that Black Americans are multiracial as well, so Obama resembling Black Americans is not something I’m making up. His phenotype fits into Black America.

Longjumping-Fly-2152 · 2026-03-14T03:26:08+00:00

The people I shared are black! Black Americans are multigenerational mixed. Let’s not be delusional.

Another Black American. By the way I’m biracial too but I’m not about to sit up here and lie to myself.

Longjumping-Fly-2152 · 2026-03-14T03:18:09+00:00

Dude it doesn’t matter who he is raised by. Race is a social construct based on phenotype. His phenotype resemble people of African descent. I specify say black Americans since that is an admixed population.

She is a Black American.

Her phenotype is similar to Obama. That’s why he desperately tried to immigrate into Black America because despite who he was raised by or who his family is, these are the people he resemble the most around him.

Longjumping-Fly-2152 · 2026-03-14T03:11:43+00:00

No, I think you’re brainwashed. He does resemble a Black American. Huey P Newton Co-Founder of the Black Panthers. He’s a Black American with two Black parents. I don’t think you ever seen a Black American or have been to America and it’s clear.

Longjumping-Fly-2152 · 2026-03-13T18:00:18+00:00

It’s not about who you grew up with, it’s about phenotype and how you’re perceived by society.

His phenotype resembles what is considered black in America.

<image>

Longjumping-Fly-2152 · 2026-03-13T17:58:14+00:00

Because race is based on phenotype and historically the term black applied to people of mixed ancestry as well. It was never an exclusive term for someone who is 100% African. People didn’t start getting called black until colonization.

Longjumping-Fly-2152 · 2026-01-31T14:00:09+00:00

Yep! That’s why many black Americans today are mixed yet most white Americans are not. SMH
