- Hi! I would love for 23andMe to sponsor this results video as well as send me a bunch of free kits, so I could get DNA ancestry results for all my friends and family. Xoxo, bye. JK, but that would be awesome. Anyway, it was so fun learning more about myself and my family and the 23andMe results were really shocking in a way! I also can't believe the amount of 2nd cousins I have that I do not know of... but my DNA had a lot of matches in the 23andMe system which was awesome!
What part of my 23andMe results did you find the most shocking!? Have you done a 23andMe? I would love to hear all of your 23andMe stories, as I thought this was so interesting and so much fun!

It's very rare for an African American to be 100% African. Most African Americans are 5-20% European. While most Europeans are 99-100% European. So any mixture will result in more European. Using 20% European as an example, your dad would statistically give you 40% African and 10% European from his side. And your mom would pass on 50% European as her half. It's also possible to get all 20% of the European and 30% African from your father or on the other extreme 50% African and no European at all from your father. Those two latter extremes are highly improbably, but I'm using those scenarios as examples. A statistical guess would be that your father has around 8% European DNA.
Skin tone is not a factor in determining genetic makeup. I'm your skin tone and both my parents are black, my four grandparents and eight great grandparents. I got light skin from my father who got it from his mother, who got it from hers who got it from a mixed mother (my great great grandmother). But my paternal grandfather is very dark skinned. Half my dad's siblings are dark skinned. I'm 81% African, 18% European and 1% Native American/SE Asian. I have about the same DNA composition as Don Cheadle, who is 81% African and 19% European and quite dark skinned. I'm 45.6% Nigerian on 23andMe, from Igboland. I have combed thru my AncestryDNA relatives and had already surmised this before the recent update, as out of the 20 Nigerian relatives I found 17 were Igbo. The others being two Yoruba and a Hausa. I was able to match my DNA regions to a people in all the West African countries. It's just the Cameroon/Congo that I have nothing. I found a single relative on my mother's test, but he has not replied.
That is all true! I figured my dad wasn’t going to be 100% African, but I was surprised with the amount of different regions and backgrounds that were a part of his DNA. Doing his 23 And Me would be super helpful and interesting as well. You know quite a lot about yours which is great. Thank you!
@@doubleutee8867 Huh?
When you look at pure black West Africans they look nothing like mixed race people…so her being more white makes sense
Italians, Spaniards, Portuguese, and Greek tend to have middle eastern / North African. Your results are very similar to mine…wow
@@doubleutee8867 Okay. Without that context "you get around" is a term used for promiscuity. I was like, "Where did that comes from?" 😅
If you can convince your parents and grandparents to do it (DNA) you will be surprised even more!!!
I could have told u that without a test look at your nose that has white writen all
Over it
You are the person you have decided to be. Accepting are ancestors can be diffucult. it goes a long way to understanding the narrative of how we came to be. You are a gorgeous, special and bueatiful.
Man, your not gonna decide to be black, because it convenient for you all. It’s obvious she more white than black. Maybe her father gas mixed blood. She is not black, biracial are not black people, they are mixed blood
I got my 23andme results about a month ago and my results were very similar in terms of the European vs African percentages. I’m around 57% European and 41% African and about 2% trace ancestry and unassigned. It’s nice to get confirmation on what you are especially when youre a biracial or mixed race person… it can be hard to judge just by appearances alone.
I got 72 percent African and 25 percent European and 2 percent Native American. My whole life I had no clue what I was so it’s nice to finally know
@@azureharris8647 Yes I’m happy you got confirmation. It’s like a nice sense of peace 🥰🥰
I figured most biracial would be around 35-45% African and 55 to 65% European since the average AA is around 70-90% African and 10-30% European.
I literally have the same %
That’s literally the average Dominican.
The Igbo people of West Africa are often light in skin color. This is not from admixture but is a tribal characteristic.
no they are not! Indigenous Africans were darker skinned. Igbos are not light skinned, and if they are, it's because of admixture, as the French colonized them too. Idk why y'all think Africans are pure.. y'all mixed just like us! 🤣
Ig-bo = He-brew = Black = Semites Not Originating from Europeans. Just like Ethiopians are 100% African. I don't like when people try to place colonization on all people. Everywhere is not America. Every country has the potential to have a few mixed people or more, but Hebrews (including Igbos) are diverse, non-European people. I would know.
I'm not Igbo, but my friends are. The commonality is being He-brew (= Ig-bo). I would believe them first.
Some are brown skin not light skin. The idea that igbos are light skin is a myth.
You are a beautiful young woman. It looks like you got the best from each side.
Black folk (African Americans who have been on the continent and are descended from those who were brought over), are not 100% African, despite the skin tone, that is why your European numbers are higher. Yes, the admixture and how it came to be is a sore point for many and rather say they have indigenous than European.
Well yeh, if you compare what the average African American looks like compared to the average sub Saharan African, they look completely different
@@ipolarisi2381 Many African Americans look very African, if that makes sense and many Africans look African American. Look at Wesley Snipes, Eddie Murphy looks like many Ghanians, Whoopi Goldberg looks like an East African....
@@rcafmaintainer3723 Personally I disagree as they normally have certain European facial features that Africans don’t have
@@ipolarisi2381 Are you an African descendant? Just curious what your background is.
@@rcafmaintainer3723 No I’m European
It's why you're so pretty. Be proud.
Hi sis welcome to the family,♥️ from London 🇬🇧
Having 2nd cousins can be cool especially if you have someone in between to kinda be the bridge. Everyone is some kind of cousin it is just a matter of how far away and the shortest route. You seem nice so I hope our route is short.
thanks for sharing. you are a great public speaker btw ;)
She's 100% beautiful!!
As we know, in the United States Black is cultural much more than physical. You definitely need to have The Motherland in you but, after that, we are all people of black African descent. Love this post! Thanks for sharing your story, my sister!
That's really racist! Your obsession with race sounds like the kind of shit the Nazis used to put out - the "motherland"? Really? Have you ever actually been to any part of Africa? And she is only your "sister" because one of her distant ancestors was black? That's SICK! You need to take a good look at yourself - not for the colour of your skin (nobody sane gives a fuck about that) but for who you are as a human soul.
We're not all black African descent. We are al descended from a father and mother from the middle east, however.
Has to be an African with is speech, after you all sold your people, trying to rub out your blackness🙄🙄
She is also of european descent. Even Majority white, like most biracials.
Biracials do not go into the black category.
@@playlists5643 who told you most biracial people are predominately white?
Happy for you. 🌹
You are 100% gorgeous
This is cool. For me, there's no point in saying I am % of something because the percent only refers to the DNA. Your grandfather being only Italian makes you pretty Italian regardless of how much of his DNA you actually took. Since he is your grandfather, people would think it would be 25%, but genes don't flow like a blood quantum (a legal definition of a person's race based on generations removed from sole members to a certain legally defined race, normally that's based on geography more than looks.) So the percentages might not actually tell you if you have more or fewer ancestors, just that you inherited more or less of their DNA.
I think this is the biggest misconception about Biracial people via Black American parents and White parents. It is almost never 50/50. I'm Black but my daughter's test showed she's majority white as well.
It's because Black Americans are typically part European.
@@sayitloudblcknproud Thank you!!!!
I've always been wanting to do a dna test but I always been nervous about it because there must be a lot of ethnicities. I really think I'm more Eastern European more than anything because I have relatives that are mostly Eastern European so maybe that is what I would get as highest percentage. I always been curious about some others like Italian, Spanish, Scandinavian, etc. I'm not sure what percentages those will be yet so hopefully I get some interesting results. I also can't wait to connect with the European relatives I mostly will have since I never knew my 2nd cousins at all.
I have a test sitting in my cupboard for the last 2 years lol.. im scared to take it because im afraid it’ll say im not my parents kid.. I mean if kids have been switched at birth in the US than it could happen elsewhere right
@@EriBarr Sometimes, you just need to know the hard truth and deeply accept it if you're not your parent's kid.
What's to be nervous about? I don't understand that.
you should be more afraid that the government now has access to your DNA.
@@janetannerevans2320 You don't know that. I never done the dna test though but that sounds ridiculous.
“You are What you do When it counts"
Never heard that quote before, Thank you for that.
Nice name btw
People do your research it does not matter what an African American look like on the outside on average they have 24% European ancestry and for the least 12% European ancestry.
the least is actually 5%.
I too am biracial and have always identified as Black. I was never treated or identified as white or would have even been white passing in the Jim crow south. Both of us would have failed there brown paper bag test with all our Melanin. I don't deny my white ancestors but everyday i look in the mirror I see a Black man and i'm proud of it and don't let anyone tell you who you are! Be true to yourself!
What's your point caller ?
@@creekyknee The point is biracial people can decide for themselves who they racially identify as. It's our choice and no one else's.
No, this girl could have definitely passed if she had to. Fortunately, she doesn’t have to because we live in the 21st century.
Why not identify as mixed ?
In the US, it's like one has to be black or white so much so that Kamala Harris is considered only black which is very offensive for us Indians
Makes sense and your physical looks reflect that. In America, Black is the latest term for what is actually a sub nationality, not always a distinctive racial group. I know people that look more "white," than you, but have no "white" relatives going back 4 generations, and have higher percentages of sub Saharan African. Very mixed populations can really produce interesting results. This is what makes us Americans. By the way maybe Americans that are not mixed look "Asian" to people that have only met Asians with those features but haven't been exposed to ( pre conquest) non mixed indeginious populations which are more numerous in central and South America as well as the SW and West USA.
You should absolutely reach out. They are your family who may not even know you existed or it’s possible that they did know that you existed and have been looking for you. I hope and pray that you enjoy this journey.
Thanks for sharing 👍🏾
You said you are dark. But you're not. Very attractive lady either way.
I love it. You tried to compliment her but inadvertently insulted her. Do tell, which is the fairer colour in your opinion ?
@@creekyknee He insulted dark skin blacks.
Well I think you are very pretty!
We are all mixed and cannot control who God made our ancestors. I have several ethnic groups that makes up my DNA, English, French and Iberian as well as west Africa and southern indigenous native American.
God played no role
Sometimes you look like your heritage, sometimes you dont
my grandma was born in Tanzania too and grew up there
I’m 40% European, lighter and serious arch in our feet, the whole family has light eyes and most of us were born with blonde hair and blue eyes. Our dads father was European an I have to think our dad had to have had a very high % of European for us to have 40 and over.
Super interesting
Your adorable !
We are all connected.. all of us
You’re going to be surprised how much those percentages will change as more data is gathered.
Thanks for sharing
Bell is a well known Scottish name , as in Alexander Graham bell 🔔. And yes it did mention Glasgow as in Glasgow Celtic the world famous football team 🏴. You're a beautiful girl all round 🙏x
My brother did a DNA test we are mixed as well black souther father white German mother. my brother was 66% white. My dad is 30% white, as black southern man lets just say he didn't accept all that white but if you see some of his family members it was obvious. Also, the most African DNA will be found in the south vs northern blacks will most likely have white DNA since mixed race people fleed north for more equality. And white southerners are more likely to have white and native DNA whereas white northerners are generally more European
very cute!
You should do an AncestryDNA test. It is has the largest database; thus it is more accurate.
It may have a larger dataset but this does not make it more accurate. Just different, Myheritage and Ancestry are very good for people who have European ancestry. That 123 thing only seems to be popular in the US so you will get very few DNA matches from Europe if that is what interests you. Geneanet was always the most used in Continental Europe but it seems that it has gone bust and will probably be taken over by Ancestry or one of the other larger businesses.
I have green eyes with hazel in the middle. My mom has dark brown and everyone on my dad's side of the family has blue eyes.
lucky! I have learned to love my eye color, but I literally would cry over not having my mom’s eye color or hair 😭
I need to do one of these
I also did a test with 23andme
Type "Indo-Mauritian DNA test" 😊
Mapping human History is my favorite book
Yours my favorite
The average African American has 10-20% European admixture, so it shouldn’t really be that surprising
7% here.....I was surprised I had that much...
I am 98% African.
(91.4 Nigerian).
My dad's father's aunt was mostly British and Irish and German and French and Norwegian (Quintilla Turner) and she married a Jamaican.
.........your dad's father's aunt?? How's she different to your dad's father's parent (sibling of that aunt)?
@@noelgibson5956 She married a Jamaican.
For them to identify your Nigerian tribe means that they probably matched you with a Nigerian Igbo that is on their DNA database.
My dad mixed and mom black and I’m more white then black and I’m like light brown skin color with dreads but my hair very curly/wavy
Was so happy that you could read the names
of the different countries.
Pareces brasileña, mulata del brasil, las mulatas del brasil por lo general son muy lindas
Can't wait to get my result!! I think my results are mostly Iberian and some native and some black,
My husbands grandparents (Italians) were on the books at Ellis...we were so excited when we saw it! Not dorky at all
I wonder if we have any relation because there are a few “Dykstra” last names on my 23&Me relatives list
Go to your DNA painting and click on confidence level and go by each percentage all the way to 90% the results are t as trust worthy as they seem most of the time
The reason there is more European than African is because her father is probably not 100% African being he’s African American & her mother is probably 100% European, it makes sense.
As long as your paternal line is black
U should test your parents,I also have bell in uk. And sweat from Virginia both on dad side
Woah! Crazy! Bell (mom) is from UK but mostly Ireland, and Sweat (dad) is from Georgia. I wonder if we have any genetic overlap.
Our ancestry is quite similar. I've an Irish mother and an American father (African American). My results were 61.4% European and 38% African. Your Italian sounds about right because it's your great grandfather who was Italian and 8% would be in the range of DNA you'd expect to inherit from a great grandparent (the lower range, but still within a normal amount. In a world where we inherited equal amounts from each great grandparent you'd expect to inherit 12.5% from each one) Though we inherit 50% from each parent, we don't inherit equal amounts from our grandparents and great grandparents
Yes! I found all of that very interesting. My grandfathers DNA was more present than my grandmothers, but my mothers genotype was more dominant than my fathers. But my dads features and colorings (physical traits) were more dominant than my moms. Very cool that we have similar ancestry. Thanks for commenting!
This woman is not dark. She is beige, light skin just like her results say.
Facts she tripping talking about she dark i think shes comparing herself to extreme pale caucasians and not the average blk americans
@@Victor-fj5hy Yes she's tripin because even compared to a white person she still isn't dark. Her mother is a white woman so she probably told her that she was dark.
@@Victor-fj5hy shes saying shes dark for a biracial person lol I look more mixed than she does and I'm not even biracial the girl looks Black
Exactly 😂, she probably sees herself as dark or her white side over exaggerates how dark she is
This young woman is mixed-race.
I'd suggest the possibility that the ashkenazi jewish might actually be sephardic jewish. They are genetically similar. And considering that you have spanish, native american, and miscellaneous middle eastern ancestry, i'd bet that you also have sephardic jewish ancestry, via northern mexico. It is quite common among the mexican/tejano population of south texas, myself included.
That's cool she's got like a little bit of everything
Actually i read that you're not supposed to read your results like a pie chart. The percentages are based on chance and confidence. It doesn't mean you have that exact percentage inside you.
Good jobs
Cel111; Make sure the study quote is not by a European. They tend to skew the truth with their inflated biases.
Just remember, it doesn't matter which ethnicity you look at, they did conquest & slavery. The reason why you see a lot about European conquest & slavery is because Europe was very good at it. Thus they conquered & enslaved more, and they are more known for it. This does not mean you conquer & enslave, your heritage doesn't shape who you are.
actually you have sold mostly to arabs
the difference was more in europeans giving food and allowing offspring
and you will not find excesses like that of the kings of benin among europeans ...that again did increase the chances of survival
@@sokopic I have some Arab DNA too lol.
Damm I'm more east Indian than African I should try this test in the future
100% beautiful.
My maternal 1st cousin who has 2 black parents is 52% European.
[ 2 black parents ] - Black is NOT black anymore.
@@BVSLevelblack is still black. But black has always been MGM(multigenerationally mixed)
Stop looking at percentages and embrace your ancestors as humans beings that if they hadn't existed you wouldn't be here today! Breaking down as you are a person of mixed race, it is very simple
Cool
The results are not surprising. Even though you have darker skin and hair more typical of Black people, your facial features are still very light, like your cheekbones, lips and eyes.
I love your dark brown eyes. They are very pretty
which kit did you do ?
23 & Me - Basic ancestry & genetics! I didn’t do the health/medical background upgraded one.
Liked your channel and you got nothing to be a shamed of Almost nearly everyone of European descent has a splash of Ashkenazi Jew African Scandinavian Germanic Irish English Roman greek Spanish DNA there's a explanation for all that just by lookup old pagans and romans history past you can kinda paint a picture of how all our ancestors would've happened upon one another. Once again Great video mate ☺️
do you think it's worth the money for 23 and me even though they got so much wrong? yes do reach out to your cousins please good luck :)
In other words you are a beauty of the human genom💝
Though skin colour does nt matter at all.like me i was fair skinned with light brown eyes.But going t college under scorching heat i turned tanned or reddish .like my father is having very fair skin(white)at young age(35 to 45 yrs)with great jaw line and chin and hazle eyes(with y dna haplogroup r1a1a),will not be any way to tell anyone about this though his work on mathematics (pie)can be said publicly that serves something to mankind.serve your best to give a damn about yu to mankind.
I’m 30% native and a lot of people just call me white haha. It’s weird but I’ve never felt fully white especially since my mom is mixed and my dad is white.
She would be considered olive skin Mediterranean European
what really wow thats crazy
Daunte Wright was probably more white than black, but it meant nothing for him in this system. As long as she understands that she'll be alright.
Exactly! Even though my DNA results technically make me “more white than black” I would say because of my physical traits and appearance, I experience more “black experiences” than white. Very good point! Justice for Daunte Wright and other folks who were failed by the system.
what does Daunte Wright have to do with it? That was not racially motivated, just an incompetent cop. So many cases of incompetence get confused for malice.
@@qweasdzxc Has everything to do with it. You don't have to believe it but it does.
@Ms.OnnaMargret Dante looks like a light skin friend I have thats fully black. Most do. And It's not my fault white society doesn't care about the white side. They considered him black and when they arrest so called mixed people they write it up as such no matter the shade. It is what it is. Your words wont change that.
@Ms.OnnaMargret Anti black racism from the dominant society is you have the same credit score as a white person, but you get a worse interest rate on a car loan. Another example would be a black person will be more likely to get harsher sentence for the same offense as a white person. Black racism against blacks is colorism pretty much, as black people dont hold power otherwise. You thinking that there is comparable racism says a lot about your thinking. A lot of black people have 20 or 30% European in their blood due to rape on the ancestors. We are still FBA regardless. I could go into more, but I am done talking. You don't get it obviously. I mean you feel more comfortable around white people. Note taken. ✌🏾
Jam on it!
What is your male Haplogroup???
You would have to do the African test to pin point your afro genes . 23andme ancestry, and heritage will give different results african ancestry has the most data
I don't know , all I know is " certain " you look very cute.
Whether your white or black you still look beautiful 😍😍😍😍
You should probably attempt to do a tree based on your fathers info. Have your brother and father do a test also. And American black dna .
I will convince them! I would love to know!

@@Victor-fj5hy Yes I agree. She's a beautiful black woman.
The ashkenazi is likely to be just Southern European rather than jewish, especially at 0.2%. Many ashkenazi jews have Southern European ancestry, as when their ancestors arrived in Europe, this was where many ended up. Most paternal "European" jewish ancestry is non European, but many of them have maternal European ancestry, so usually they are around 50-60% Middle Eastern, and 40-50% European. Their genetic clusters tend to be halfway between Europe and the Middle East reflecting this. So that 0.2% is likely just to be Southern European ancestry that you and ashkenazi jews share.
Wow your beautiful

Check out any album cover of Earth Wind and Fire........ it's very telling.
Thanks for sharing; take care 🔥 ❤ 🌙
I actually can see the Italian in you ... Your results are awesome .. And English and Irish is awesome too ..
You didn't need a DNA test to reassure yourself that you were black.
Unfortunately for you when you were growing up, you just assumed that you were black. Not so, you are actually more white than black, not because of 23 and me told you, it's because the race of a person mostly comes thru the mother. Lastly, you are your own race, which is biracial. And you should be proud of that. So please, go thru the rest of ur life knowing you are not black, or white, but biracial.
🤣
Your mom having brown hair proves she's not pale white, as that color was lying dormant in her genes all along. Often times caucasians are born being blonde for their earlier few years, then if there is color in their genes (through admixture usually), it comes through later on around maturity. This is common.
Though Blondes too can be mixed, have other non- european ancestry.
Traits like lighter skin, blue eyes and lighter hair are just relatively recent i.e. approx 11,000 years ago. Europeans have varied colouring and things like blond hair, red hair and blue eyes are recessive and whether people are dark haired or blonds they will have the same ancestry. This is especially the case with people of the same ethnicity but even areas like Northwestern European are amazing close in genetic distance.
😮☺️
