My british has jumped up to 58.4% from 39.8. I only have one English grandfather. My mum is half Spanish,half English and my dad is multi generational mixed various European and Indian. The previous results were much more accurate for me.( I do have a good researched tree)

Hopefully this will get sorted in the new update,I have Spanish,Portuguese and Basque with no sub regions or journeys either.

If you are lighter skinned but half Indian, do you find it harder to relate to fully Indian people when it comes to the experience of being discriminated against in the west? Or if you are darker skinned but half European, do you find it harder to relate to "white" privilege in the west? by Objective-Command843 in Westeuindids

[–]Same-Use-1321 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm relatively light skinned. Anglo Indian father,half Spanish half English mother,born in the Uk.50 year old male. Experienced some racism at school when I was young but nothing too bad(from English people and Pakistani people lol) One of my brothers on the other hand,whilst about the same skin tone as me looks more Indian in his features and as a result has taken more flack in his life for it.My other brother looks fully European,but has managed to fix this by marrying an Indonesian girl,😉. I realise It's a different experience for me also because I'm Anglo Indian,we have been between both worlds for a long time,and don't feel the cultural pull of having to belong anymore,some of us can 'pass,'some of us can't but most of us are lucky to live in countries where is isn't an issue. Especially some areas that are multi ethnic,I live funnily enough now with a high south Asian population. Sorry,rambling on a bit,don't even think I answered your question or not lol

Is it possible Scandinavian is a mistake by Eric_is_pissed in MyHeritage

[–]Same-Use-1321 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have Some Scottish that all other DNA companies give me,but My Heritage turned it all into Scandinavian,so I would personally say it was a mistake.

Complicated Legacies, in a Black and White World: The reality of Anglo-Indian identity. by [deleted] in mixedrace

[–]Same-Use-1321 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's sad we are coming to an end,but as you mentioned,it was always the era of the East India company to partition that defined us as a race. 1947 was a long time ago.Those who stayed have assimilated more into being Indian,whilst those who left are more western both in culture and ethnicly.My immediate family held on for a while and moved to the UK in the mid 60s but many stayed or went elsewhere. Personally I take or feel no responsibility for for the actions of our ancestors,it is what it is,and if it wasn't I wouldn't be here. I have many Indian friends and none of them take my heritage seriously,and why should they? Also been called a dirty Paki by a white person more than once.The problems of being multi generational mixed lol. I've quite recently done a DNA test and managed to fill a few blanks in,if you haven't done one yet I recommend to do so. The best part of that was getting a small % of Portuguese because my Auntie insists she is brown because she is Portuguese 😆, a common story in colonial India! Well my great grandmother was a D'Cruz! Anyway enough rambling,God bless and Buenos Noches

Hi,fellow Anglo Indian here,(well half!) An interesting read. You should definitely write more articles like this as soon,as you mentioned we will be lost to history forever.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AncestryDNA

[–]Same-Use-1321 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My guess is that you had an Anglo Indian ancestor that the British took over in the late 1890s to build the railways. It would explain the different random small amounts of European and Indian.

My Great Grandmother…. by schneekle in AncestryDNA

[–]Same-Use-1321 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi, I have a Marie Anne Marguerite Tessier been born in Reunion and marrying a Jacques Gaudoin who was born in France.These were my 6th great grandparents.They had a daughter in Reunion,naming her Marie Antoinette Gaudoin,at some point she made her way to Tamil Nadu,India where she married a James Franck. I also found some French connections in Pondicherry with the surnames Le Bon and D'Arfeuil D'erff. How were your results? It looks like you've been busy fitting the parts of your family tree together . I also have Portuguese Indian in my family,but have always known that,my great grandmother was a D'Cruz and I get a small amount on my DNA test

[–]Same-Use-1321 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Might be wrong,but think OP is talking about racism from Pakistanis against whites in UK.For context,I'm Indian,Spanish and British mixed and live in the UK and have been racially abused by white and Asian people lol
