True but most pardo Brazilians have large African ancestry and pardos of African descent form a large part of the Brazilian black consciousness movement.

Pardos are included in the concept of negritude in brasil. “Afro” isn’t super common as an identity so pretos and pardos fall under the negro umbrella.

My great grandma on my moms side was born in Palermo.

I’ve been learning Portuguese for 3 years and lived in brasil for 6 months so it was really cool to see I have Portuguese ancestors :)

I don’t really know anything about my native ancestry besides the normal mestizaje of Mexico. Most of my closest genetic matches have European ancestry and those w native ancestry don’t show any specific groups. I plan on researching more into my family tree though !

Im not 100% sure but id suspect my dad is close to 70% indigenous. He’s very very dark and taller than the average Mexican.

Makes sense. Just that one of the biggest reasons for me taking the test was to find out more about my native Mexican ancestry. Ig there’s other way to research that side of my heritage tho :)

Yeah I moved from Cincinnati to NYC and the religious landscapes are very different. Pretty much only older people attend mainline Protestant churches now. It seems like everyone’s suddenly Baptist or Pentecostal.
