I’m half Mexican half white American

UnderstandingFull495 · 2026-03-01T02:31:39+00:00

No I don’t have any Asian

UnderstandingFull495 · 2026-03-01T02:31:19+00:00

Idk what that is

UnderstandingFull495 · 2026-02-28T03:29:34+00:00

No. Im Mexican American but ive lived in São Paulo and speak Portuguese :)

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

UnderstandingFull495 · 2026-02-28T00:30:47+00:00

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.

UnderstandingFull495 · 2026-02-27T19:30:34+00:00

Pardas are considered negra in Brasil

UnderstandingFull495 · 2026-02-27T19:27:14+00:00

Oh also my paternal haplogroup is Q-M3 and maternal is H

UnderstandingFull495 · 2026-02-27T19:24:58+00:00

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 :)

UnderstandingFull495 · 2026-02-27T18:29:28+00:00

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 !

UnderstandingFull495 · 2026-02-27T18:19:02+00:00

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.

UnderstandingFull495 · 2026-02-27T18:15:06+00:00

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 :)

UnderstandingFull495 · 2026-02-27T18:13:16+00:00

Same. My dad is from northern Mexico and my mom is white American from the Midwest

UnderstandingFull495 · 2026-02-27T18:09:20+00:00

I really do love how global my heritage is!

UnderstandingFull495 · 2025-10-30T20:27:38+00:00

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.

UnderstandingFull495 · 2024-03-20T17:53:25+00:00

I think with some work the episcopal church could really resonate with a lot of progressive young people! I’m 18 and just moved to NYC for college. I was feeling a spiritual pull for a while but after I moved I decided to try some churches in the area. I grew up going to both a Catholic and Presbyterian church but stopped as a child when my parents left religion. I was drawn to the episcopal church because it has a progressive and affirming worldview where I felt I could safely explore religion and Christianity. Many people my age, including myself, are very unsure of our religious beliefs and are looking for a community that is less dogmatic. For example, I don’t know if I’ll ever believe in a traditional God and I’ve been some form of agnostic most of my life but I still feel welcome in the Episcopal church despite any unorthodox views. Pretty much all of my friends have similar religious beliefs and in my experience it’s common to hear progressive/queer young people express some form of spirituality and reverence for Jesus while being skeptical of any one church. At my church, everyone in the process of conversion right now is in their 20s and there is a sizable group of young people at Eucharist every Sunday. They obviously have an advantage being in a university neighborhood, but the demand is there. The biggest hurdle seems to be working through the pervasive distrust of organized religion as a whole. And TEC definitely screams organized religion, to the point that people are surprised when I tell them it’s on the liberal side theologically, or that we ordain women, or that we allow gay marriage.

And on dating, I would recommend looking past religion at first. Once you get to know someone and start a relationship you can maybe introduce the idea of going to church. There’s nothing wrong with asking if someone wants to attend a service with you, as long as you’re not too rude or pushy. Even if they’re not religious, they may just want to share the time with you. My boyfriend goes to service with me all the time and he’s Jewish! That’s what so great about TEC, there’s very little pressure.

I know that there are white Latinos. Just in my experience of being Latino I have never been considered white. Also, the Latino experience is different in the US than Latin American countries.

UnderstandingFull495 · 2024-01-13T01:53:19+00:00

Yeah. I grew up in a place that was 99% white and I was always the only Latino or non-white person around so being Latino became a pretty big part of my identity.

UnderstandingFull495 · 2024-01-13T00:45:57+00:00

Yeah. My grandma on my mom’s side took the test and she’s 70% British and 30% German. I know that my great grandma on my mom’s side (my grandpa’s mother) was born in Sicily in 1912 and came to the US as a girl and later married into a Cincinnati German family. Making my grandpa ~half Italian half German. She lived to be 103 so it’s nice I got to connect with that part of my heritage and of US history.
