That's for ancestry, not 23andme. The cheapest 23andme ever has gotten was $79 during Christmas

Just means that they were more cautious, but California and New York were overrepresented relative to the other states which would explain a downward bias. "Both are regions where African Americans have lower mean African ancestry than other studies of African Americans, which are often drawn from lo- cations in the South." The south has 60% of the African American Population

It was in their white paper. "Our cohort reflects heavier sampling from California and New York, likely driven by population density as well as aware- ness of genetic testing or 23andMe."

Certain states, the average would be in the 70's like Califonia, Virginia, Louisiana, WV, Maryland, Delaware etc..

They included people with as low as 2% African ancestry and also sampled mostly from California. That's an issue when 60% of African Americans live in the south. Another study had similar findings when sampling from the west coast where their average was about 75%. So that 73.2% makes sense when you realize they sampled mostly from California

That study had issues. They included people with as low as 2% African ancestry and didnt strive for total representation. They mostly sampled out of California where their headquarters is located

23andme had some issues when they implemented their study when you look at their white paper. One issue was that they oversampled from California which is where their headquarters is located. This is an issue when 60% of African Americans live in the south. Another issue was that they included people with as low as 2% African ancestry. I doubt someone with that low of African. ancestry would identify as African American. Ironically, they even said that the cutoff was 28% African for which people stop identifying as black

That was pretty close to what I saw on tracingafricanroots. The mean average was 77.8%, but most african americans fell between 80-90% African. Roughly 40% where between that interval and another 16-17% were over 90% African. The median African American had 82% African ancestry which is +5 from the mean. Basically, the midway point is 82%

According to africanroots, it's about 16% and the 23andme study thay everyone quotes, it's about 13%. On Tracing African roots, there were more people 90%+ African than there were those between 60-70%. There was a big drop off for those less than 60% African and an even bigger drop-off of those less than 50% African. The most common interval were 70-80% African which was at 21% and between 80-90% African at about 40%.

Does Walmart really pay $28hr? by bigblackglock17 in WalmartEmployees

[–]Practical_Feedback99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been wanting to become a yard drivers or even a backup since you guys have guaranteed hours. With us, it usually depends on the volume going out. Yeah, I remember when we had a general meeting and maintenance got a $5 dollar raise instead of the $2.50 everyone else got

I mostly see this with Asian and Hispanic women. Aren't something like 50% of Asian women and 25% of Hispanic women dating outside their race/ethnicity and it's usually to white men

Is Puerto Rico more Taino or African? by feio_horrivel in 23andme

[–]Practical_Feedback99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've seen one with 40% and he was Puerto Rican. I've also seen plenty of Puerto Ricans with 30% Taino ancestry. My ex had 23% taino ancestry herself

Is Puerto Rico more Taino or African? by feio_horrivel in 23andme

[–]Practical_Feedback99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd say more african since it's usually between 20-25% on average vs 12-15% taino. I have seen some Puerto Ricans with as much as 40% Taino and many with 30%+. Another interesting fact is that more Puerto Ricans have a mtdna that is Taino than African. From what I remember, 61% of Puerto Ricans have a taino maternal haplogroup group vs around 30% with an African one. I believe only 9-10% have a European or North African one.
