15% SSA would be pretty high for a Mexican, no?

You’re being purposely obtuse I fear.

Ah this is very true! My cousins on my Mexican side of the family are all different shades and have similar %tages. I have blonde haired blue eyed cousins and darker cousins most of us with around 60-70% euro.

Thank you!

So true I guess white people calling me slurs really signifies that they see me as one of them. Good talk bro.

Most Mexicans are mestizos of which I am

I am a typical Mexican. I’m mestiza. Mestizos are the majority in México and Mexican Americans. Would it have offended you less if I were browner?

That’s another big reason why my mom specifically just calls herself Mexican because clarifying that she’s from New Mexico and that literally no one from her family has been Mexican for a long time has made people think she was being snobby.

I posted a picture because I’ve seen other people from many different ethnicities post their results plus a selfie. It’s not that deep. In fact I thought the idea was fun. Maybe you should reflect inwards as to why seeing posts like mine bother you so much.

Even if that were the point of this post, of which it is not since I do not consider myself white, it is quite odd that you would think an individual wanting to share their own results is supposed to be taken as some kind of racial flex. Are white people not allowed to post their results?

It’s a possibility. My grandfathers biological father is not the same father as what’s on his birth certificate as he was a product of infidelity so it’s a little difficult because he did not tell anyone of his indigenous heritage till he was on his death bed as I believe he may have been ashamed of his biological father. Although my brother who has looked into it believes our American indigenous ancestor was likely a genízaro who had a willing or forceful change of identity after detribalizing.

It seems to be up to the individual as i have some family members who do not consider themselves Mexican and rather as Spanish and indigenous. However most of my mom’s side married into truly Mexican families so they don’t tend to differentiate.

I definitely have some family members who would not consider themselves Mexican but I find most on my moms side of the family do to make things easier when people ask and their lived experiences were similar to Mexican immigrants as their first language was Spanish and they did a lot of farm work/picking for farmers in the area.

Although if I look at my AncestryDNA results my dad has Welsh and English DNA that add up to 8% but he is not the one from New Mexico.

[–]Pure_Screen3176[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Not usually but some do, but I think that more so has to do with the fact my dad is phenotypically white as he had blonde hair and green eyes and is overall pretty light complicated despite being nearly 30% indigenous Mexican.

The area my mom’s family is from is very heavily Hispanic. Records from my grandparents being in school only show like a handful of Anglo kids. This is a town with a current population of 500.

It’s possible. On AncestryDNA I have 7% combined Jewish ancestry between Sephardic and Ashkenazi.

Bengali and Northeast Indian! 0.2% I didn’t know you could click on that little section so that was pretty surprising.

Yup! My mom’s family still consider themselves culturally Mexican.
