Who Exactly is "Mixed Race"?

- Опубліковано 28 вер 2024
- Who exactly is mixed race or multiracial, and just what percentage of the world's population can be considered mixed race? Although it can sometimes be quite difficult to quantify just exactly who is mixed race and who is not, for today's video, I will be attempting to quantify this metric with objective standards.
We will be going over the various regions of the world and discussing and enumerating people groups and individuals who could be considered mixed race, even if the definition is quite loose and near impossible to pin down. Be sure to check out my previous videos where I go in depth into each of the extended regionalized ancestral continuums. Thanks for watching!

Wherever borders between countries or ethnic groups are easily passed, mixing usually occurs near those borders. Central Asia is a good example
You look euro Asian
You look Samoan.
Lynx I’ve been mistaken for many different ethnicities before but this is the first time someone said Samoan. Are you Samoan?
Janet Maria I am sort of, 50% South Asian, 25% East Asian, 25% European
etienne zhou No doubt that occurred as well. Genghis Khan comes to mind
I grew up in Scotland and a mixed marriage was a Protestant wedding a Catholic.
Offspring were then referred to as half Catholic.
The brown people were Italian!
Nonsense on top of nonsense.
@House of Savoy That's because Sub-Race and Ethnicity aren't the same thing many south Europeans are Nordic and some North and West Europeans are Mediterranean and Alpine.
@@bloodsportdebates1995 Whats a sub-race?
@@houseofzuma1033 it's a category below race, it's a group who share some common features like a race but more fine gained, for example Caucasoids can be sub divided into at leats three major sub-races Nordic , Alpine, and Mediterranean, a good website to learn more is humanphenotypes dot net.
@House of Savoy Im swedish, but my ancestors are mixture between this nation, estonians and saami tribe.
@@Just_another_Euro_dude Many Italians have Nordid influence. So do many in the Balkans.
I did the Dna test, and apparently I"m 28,4 % Nigerian. 23.7 Scandinavian and 46.9% Meso american. Blew my mind. What I knew was on my Father side, my Grandmother is Venezuelan and my Grandfather was mixed caribean, On my Mother side, my Grandmother was half white half black and so was my grandfather,.....But the Scandinavian part blew me away..

😂😂 you got me
Most people would label me as "exotic" or Mediterranean looking. I was often confused for a local when I was in Greece rather than just a tourist, like I was. Thing is, I'm not Mediterranean, not even close to that region. I'm mixed race Sinhalese/Gaelic Irish, knowing both regions probably some other stuff mixed in. So yeah
irish have a higher iberian dna than english
@@hanyu_dada depends on what you mean by Iberian. Whether that mean Iberian Celts that sailed over to Ireland in the Iron Age, or the Spanish survivors of the Wreck of the Armada in 1688 who intermixed with the locals
Same, would get labeled as mexican, arab or indian. however I'm filipino of Chinese descent.
I think these "mixed" populations are kind of an artifact of where you decided to draw the lines between races. Perhaps a more sociologically useful definition would be to say that races, while fundamentally genetic, are defined by culture. Thus, a population that is a distinct group (including if it's the majority) is by definition a race, and thus not mixed race. Basically, "mixed race" is what happens when the race boundaries that a culture sets up are broken.
I'm not really sure how this fits into continuum racism like "colorism", though. I think it doesn't. The whole idea of "mixed" race implies that there is such a thing as non-"mixed" race. That requires there to be hard boundaries, unless there's some kind of continuum between "more mixed" and "less mixed".
tbh we need to drop white, black or color in general as a racial classification.

That's why we in the Caribbean who know our family tree just call ourselves by our nationality race thing don't make any sense. Don't understand at all why so many keep feeding this retarded unscientific idea that humans can just be grouped into a stupid box and call it a day. Doctors have to treat every patient individually even in families so it baffles me how people claim this and this race is stupid and that and that is prettier and better than everyone else.
@@hainleysimpson1507 I KNOW!! That's what I love about our general carribean cultures. We don't honestly care
@Nyarlathotep You sound like you are clueless. No such thing as race it's made up bullshit.
@Nyarlathotep It's far more sensible an accurate to group people based on their culture than appearance.
Race is a social construction and it changes over time and defined by who is in charge of the Census. Even defined differently in different Nations.
Hazaras and Uighurs are around 50% east and 50% west-eurasian. Yet most of the time Hazaras are counsiderd east-eurasian and uyghurs as more west-eurasian.
Can't say much good about them uyghurs when china does whatever they want with them.

I love explorations of race and ethnicity like this. It's a travesty that this field began in a climate of pseudoscience and superiority complexes. I just want to learn where different peoples come from.
To answer some of your concluding questions, my immediate family has almost entirely Anglo-Irish and Norwegian ancestry. We are very, very white Americans. My mom's siblings, however, married non-European spouses, so we have cousins with partly Filipino or Lebanese backgrounds. On top of that, our religious expressions range from Quaker to Roman Catholic. But we're united in Christ, and that is sufficient.
@@agh6250 I'm not suggesting that the white "race" is any kind of objective, homogeneous category. I'm merely using a commonly accepted term describing the complexion of Northern and Western European peoples.
I'm half English and half Pakistani, and I grew up in the UK. When I did a DNA test, I found that I had SIX separate "ethnicities" with none having the majority!
I'm half Korean/Italian (south), I'm afraid I'll get similar results from DNA like you too (especially since south Italians/Sicilian may have many mixed heritage) 😨
I was born Yakutia, Russia. I have an Russian/Polish/Evenks/Yakutian ancestry from my father's side and Chukchis/Yukaghirian/Evens/Cossacks ancestry from my mother's side. Interesting part is that older and younger sisters of my maternal grandmother has light skin and grey/blue eyes despite asian looks, probably because their grandfather was of cossack origin.

Please
Why are you still talking of "race" if it is quite clear that "race" as a classification does not make sense? Here you demonstrated that a third of the worlds population does not fit into one race, even if you separate the genetically somewhat destinguishable ten races, instead of just 4 or 5 how it has been done traditionally. If you are speaking of "race" people also think of the categories the racist American state classifies, which do not make sense at all. This can lead to confusion.
I'm from Brazil and I've Portuguese, indigenous, Arab, Italian and black ancestors
Growing up in a small logging town in the Pacific Northwest of the United States, I was taught that a mixed person was someone who had a Norwegian father and a Swedish mother.
Just saying...
So I take it they still have morals where you are from.
MSR OW lmao get help 💀💀💀💀
Lol did only Norwegian and Swedish people live in the Pacific Northwest
Well yeah back then the population was mostly the descendants from earlier pioneers and european immigrants who traveled out west
You were taught incorrectly.
Some people are mixed Ethnicity more so than mixed race. I'm mixed race due to my parents how ever a lot of Europeans and Africans have different ethnicities that make them up. Genetics is a great thing to know.

That is the wrong click you're doing btw in "Xhosa". I know there's lots of other words you don't pronounce as in they're origin languages, but I thought I should mention it since you're trying.
EDIT: THE FOLLOWING TEXT MAY INCLUDE A MISHEARING OF YOUR PRONUNCIATION. YOU MAY HAVE SAID "XOSA" RATHER THAN "COSA". I'M NOT AS GOOD AT DISTINGUISHING THESE THINGS IN RECORDINGS AS I THOUGHT.
What you're doing now would probably be spelled "Cosa" with the "c" probably being called a "plain dental click" (although I suspect a more accurate description of you're pronunciation would be "affricated palatal click"). This is done with the center of the top of your tounge, near the front of your mouth. To make the "x" sound you need to do a similar movement (i.e., touching the tongue to the gums then pulling back*) with the sides of your tongue (or the top of the sides) further back in your mouth.** Mastering this should enable you to say "Xosa".
Also, the "h" in "Xhosa" must be pronounced. Technically, this is "aspiration"*** on the click, but it can also be thought of as a short "h" sound without any real difference in pronunciation.
*Actually, there are sort of 3 parts to pronouncing a click (or "lingual ingressive stop/plosive"). (Steps 1 and 2 actually happen at the same time.)
(1) there must be a closure in the back of the mouth, stopping air from moving back down your throat or up your nose. In "Xhosa" I believe this is usually done with the back of the tongue against the gums, similar to the "k" sound (or rather lack of sound) at the end of "sick", if you don't finish the "k". (If you finish the "k", the last sound you will hear the sound of this stop being blown threw by a burst of air, the familiar "k" sound.) Since you made one click, you obviously know how to do this even if you don't realize you're doing it.
(2) There must be a closure in the front of the the mouth, preventing air from escaping out the mouth. This, combined with step 1, seals in a little bubble of air. In both the "c" sound you made and the "x" sound in "Xhosa", this front closure is made with the front of the toungue. In fact, you can make it exactly the same way.
(3) Thus, the only important difference (other than the "h") between the click you made and the correct one is the last step. In this step, the front closure is pulled back, making the air bubble smaller in volume and thus higher in air-pressure, which then naturally causes the air to blast open the seal between the tongue and the gums and escape, creating the "click" sound. In the Xhosa "c" sound, the center/tip of the tongue pulls back, while the sides stay more or less in place. In the Xhosa "x" sound, the center/tip of the tongue stays in place while the sides of the tongue pull back.
**The easiest click for you to make with the side of your tongue may be a sharp popping sound (almost like knocking on wood). This sound is made in a very similar way to the "x" sound, but is not used in Southern African languages. The sound should instead be be a soft, saliva-y, "affricated" click made with the root of the tongue pulked further back.
***Aspiration is very common in English with the "p", "t" and "k" sounds. It is the puff of air that occurs after the first consonant in the words "pill", "till", and "kill", but not in the words "spill", "still", and "skill".

Best show yet! Truly excellent.
Speaking of Finns, it would depend where in the country. The Southern and Western parts have more European genetics than the North and East that have the 'traditional Finnish' makeup along with Saami. Although plenty of the population in the South have Swedish and even Russian 'looks' with the tall blue eyed blondes, a lot of Finns further up have darker hair and are shorter and stockier. But both can have the Asiatic eyes.
But in the end, no one is 100% any certain ethnicity.
Lmao tall Russian like I’m taller 95% Russians I’ve met in 18
I really like this channel but don’t even want to look at the comments anymore, it’s really sad to see how people believe other races are lesser when we are all just the same: human.
The fact that you have a grandparent of West Iranian descent somewhat surprised me and in a touching way.
Love your videos you really do intensive research along with exact illustrations I was wondering could you do a video of the people of South Africa how the Europeans obtained high amounts of outside race dna and how they Yet they maintained most of their European dna also on the “colored “Mixed History and of their is any mixture among the black people
In Brazil the avarage european DNA in black people is around 50% according to some recent genetic studies. Very Interesting!
@Dashing TIM that might be in northern Brazil. But in southern Brazil the overwhelming majority is white.
We all are mixed. Some from recently, some from millennials ago.
It doesn't matter what percentage you are, if you know your family history black and white, you're mixed.

@@emmawexler9661 Genetically perhaps, but socially/culturally you're wrong.
Mixed race definition parents or ancestors. Meaning you can be mixed by your parents or grandparents.
In North America the term mulatto originally meant white European mixed with Native American and did not mean African mixed with white at all it only meant that much later on. In Native American being of White, black, and Native American could be considered and classified as Metis or Melungeon.
What about native American and black?
Lorrie Miller, the word mulatto is an Spanish word, meaning the cross of first generation between a white and a black person , although it could be widely used also to include quadroons and octoroons as well , first cross of people of native American and white are mestizo, a metisse is usually the offpring of an octoroon and a white meaning a person of only 6.25 African ancestry, educate yourself before posting.
On 0:10 most people I know including my self look like the second or third person, a few people that I know look like the forth or like the first one. But nobody looks like the fifth.
The most intriguing language for me is pepekese
I look like the second but flatter and taller nose
I'm about 70% Gael and 30% continental Celt. For some reason I don't think I'd get very good reactions telling fellow Americans that I'm "mixed race"...
;D
@James Venner So you watched the first 3mins but not the very next part where he describes his criteria for the video I see.
I have noticed that the assumption of what you are, is only based on your appearance, (or where you are born) and until a DNA test is done to show that appearances can be deceiving, most people just assume things which are wrong. I mean, I've seen families which I made an assumption myself about what they were. But turned out to be wrong. In one case, there was a man who looked just like me. I'm assumed to be just 'white', so I assumed the same about him. But then I found out his father was fully Chinese. His mother was more European decent, and most of his features reflected her. The only thing tying him to his father really was his hair was dark, and straight, like mine. His eyes were darker like mine. His skin had a more 'golden' appearance to it like mine. He was smaller in stature, in frame, like me. But most of his facial structure was of a Caucasian appearance. The stronger brow ridge, the more prominent nose etc. I have found that if someone appears more 'non white' in how they look, it is assumed they are mixed race, but if you look whiter, you are assumed to not be, and this just isn't how it works. You can be darker, and have European. You can be lighter, and have black, Asian, or other non European. Places like America are full of 'mutts'.
One way mixing happens is through the Millitary/ I was born into a military family my mom is German Irish English and welsh . My dads family is very diverse- his mom is Italian Hebrew Mexican and German - Barbadian . His dad is West African Benin 🇧🇯 Gambian , Nigerian .
I did the math and got 3.031 billion (3.03058 billion) people, never thought about it in that way.
Masaman,
The “pure” ethnic claims of Brittain and Germany are politicized in the current rightwing political discourse. It might be interesting to discuss what we can learn from your research.
The leftwing is pretty into ethnic claims as well. It's just about how many instead of how few. It's kinda funny when you think about it, horseshoes.
ChicagoTurtle1 It would be really hard to find a fully blooded English person. The amount of invaders England has had plus Celtic people coming to live here we are all a mix of English, Celtic, Germanic and Nordic
Well, let’s do some research and let it enlighten us.
I mean part of an ethno-genesis is a group of similar people, having a shared culture, language, etc., recognizing themselves as a separate group from another. In that regard, no matter how "mixed" the ethnicity is, it is still that ethnicity if the people recognize it. There's a huge difference between genetic diffusion between related people-groups and "multicultural" intermixing. This is generally the reason "pure ethnic claims" are being made; people (very typically of the political left), use Britain's historical ethnicities to justify shattering the English identity into a macro-ethnic national identity that is internally not cohesive.
English are a Celtic and Germanic mix. Both of these groups belong to the same race and are descendants of the Corded Ware culture from 4500 years ago.
The comment section isn't as combative as I thought it would be. Nice. My parents are immigrants from Germany with some Austrian mixed in and my 23andMe reports I'm 40% Eastern European with haplogroup R1a and 1% Siberian blood. I wish I could say that 1% non-European blood makes me mixed, but it doesn't. In America ethnicity often divides people and the more people mix the more they get along. My brother is married to a woman from China and has mixed kids. I'm divorced with a daughter, and if I were open to being in a relationship again, it would not be with a Western or white woman.
Tim salter I consider you guys like Survivors. The good old white race that everybody hypes up and are becoming less and less everyday.
The one that everybody pretends to envy or admire.
Wait you said if you're only ⅛ of another race you're not mixed, but what if you're each 1/16 of other races are you still mixed

We human need to divide things into categories in order to handle large amounts of information. The problem is that the closer you look the more the pattern breaks down.

I think we're all a bit mixed if we go back far enough. I didn't think I was mixed at all just a normal Brit/Celt but after having my DNA test just to see how Irish I was, I was a bit shocked to find I very small amounts coming from Central Asia, Finnish, west asia, Ashkenazi Jewish, Mongolia, central America and Inuit! I understand Finnish but not the others? So based on this I'm most interested in Central Asia/steppe/Eurasian
Haha thats cool. I also find Central Asia very interesting

You are right. Some people just don’t see the bigger picture. Holding onto ‘race’ is a very primitive concept
Pangea Play wow, a nazi.
Pangea Play

@Micheal Koch welcome to the conversation, haha. You are misunderstanding. I was pointing out a primitive mindset, not so much that race in itself is primitive (although you could probably argue that too). And you might have it backwards regarding more heavily mixed race people having race very relevant. For example, if you look at actual mixed race populations such as in Brazil or Mexico or Reunion Island, etc...race means nothing, you are actual speaking about culture.
So we've established that there are a lot of mixed races within so-called distinct ethnic groups within different nationalities which I agree with. Now I'm curious as to which ethnic groups of specific nationalities are actually pure races 100% or with just up to 25% admixture? I'm thinking of certain isolated tribes in Sub-Saharan Africa and the Amazon forest, Australian Aboriginals without Caucasian admixture and Scandinavians in Europe?
So this means we can get rid of quotas!?

When discussing this topic, the deeper you go, the less meaning things hold. The concepts of race and ethnicity are very vague and arbitrary. If you talk about race or ethnicity you are implying that people of pure race or ethnicity exist. However, every single human is mixed-race to some degree.
Culture is a more reliable parameter for circumscribing a certain people.

I agree. I took a DNA test, and came out to be 89% English, 11% Scottish and Irish, but having researched my family's genealogy for over 40 years, I know we also have Native American, and Mizrahi Jewish ancestry. That is many generations ago, so doesn't contribute significantly to my DNA now.

Are you saying that EVERY "black" person in America was a victim of rap*

Yes. The pro-black movements claim mixed race people black+white are black just to increase their numbers. This is the same logic of american racist "one drop rule". Doesn't work for calling people white/european though.

Not even Icelanders are homogenous. For what I know, they're a population of mixed viking sailor fathers and celtic mothers taken from the British isles.
norse gael men also settled there, it wasnt just gaelic and british women
Yea and also in the last 50 years many migrants entered Iceland who have mixed over the years.
@The Nova renaissance Celts and Germans are two diffrent races, so Iceland isn't homogenous.
they have found native american now too in some familys it seems a native girl came to iceland on one of the early north american voyages
We do have some celtic blood in us (which is cool, im fine with that) but its not like its 50/50

Some people say I look like a Turk, or Turkic, but I'm not. I'm South Asian mixed with east Asian and Euro
You looks Samoan.
You dont look turkish maybe turkic turks here have round eyes
MBE Mapping yeah I agree, I don’t think I look Turkish either. I think the people actually meant Turkic or Central Asian. My eyes are more round than Asian looking though
Lynx Haha yes you said that before I think. First time someone said that! You must be Samoan, right?
MindRealm Insights Look Kazakh if anything
I think the whole mixed race thing is based on subjective links to nations, regions and cultures. Not really ethnicity at all. Because as the video said, you could say everyone is mixed race if you go back far enough. These days, we consider people of ancestry coming from the British Isles to be one of the most homogenized in the world. But in reality, they're one of the most mixed, as they were mixed in with the French, Celtic, Norse, Dutch, Germans, Spanish, Russians, Indians, Africans, Middle Eastern and pretty much every group outside of East Asia. You just need to go back more than a few generations to find it. But again, notice how almost every label I just used was based on a regional or national identity. That's not really a good basis for grouping people together. At best, it's confusing since a group like "Brazilian" or "South American" is not one homogenized group. It's as big of a melting pot as the USA or UK.
The point I'm trying to make with all this is, I feel like ethnicity is kind of a pointless distinction these days. I know in many parts of the world it's still a big deal. Heck, it's becoming a big deal again in the USA with some people. But I just choose not to be one of those people.
Thanks for highlighting Cabo Verde proud to be from there.I am 60/40 African/European.
That’s a poor ratio imo
You are free to have your opinion. It won't change my history and who I am.
How do you get 60/40 not 50/50?
かんぐちあき most likely both parents had some level of african admixture
Yes we are mix.multigenerational mix .Both parents.
Interesting video. By the way, mixing as a result of colonialism in Africa did not just happen in the Cape. It happened throughout the continent. In fact, in Southern Africa, "colored" (as in cape-colored) is a term used to identify people of mixed race. Moreover, people of mixed race have formed communities to the point where some consider it a race on its own. I am one of them - Malawi, Southern Africa. I'm mixed with African Bantu, Indian, and Scottish.
I’d probably put you in the Black category.
@@nickb3345 That's okay. People have different opinions about what they think I look like. Like I said, I'm mixed so I accept what people say. I find it interesting.

You wouldn't believe how many African Americans look like north Africans. I mean I'm light brown but my mom is light skinned with green eyes and both her parents are black Americans.
Meh, not really.
Some sure, but by no means the majority.
It’s literally just because we have similar phenotypical traits
Aint 80% of African-Americans have white blood. Precisely, why they are lighter than Afro-Caribbeans & Continental Africans! Full stop.
Even people of Punjab are mixed race. Many groups of people invaded and settled in Punjab like:
-Scythian’s (Kambojas and other groups)
- Huna people (Nezak Huns, Alchon Huns)
-Hepthelites
- Sindhis
-Kashmiris
-Pashtuns
-Rajashtanis
-Persians
-Arabs
-Tocharian’s
-Kushans
-Wusuns
-Turks
-Mongols
-Greeks
-Qarmatians
-Bactrians
-Parthians
And Various other groups. That’s why Punjabi’s have a variety of different phenotypes.
Bro whole India is mixed race of four indegenious people hunter gatherers, Iranian farmers , mongaloid ,Aryans , iam tamil in Kerala , my relative look like middle easterners but I look like streotype south indian , even Punjabi is mix of Aryan,Iranian farmers,hunter gatherers

so you're changing identity into a Korean now after a couple of years? 😭
@@Ix-.-xI LMAOO
I was born in America
However my father was born in Sicily his mother’s mom was Greek and Sicilian my fathers father was a black Moore sub Saharan Africa .
My skin is brown my hair extremely curly but I have green eyes.
I’m always asked “what are you?”
Do you tan?
Or are you black and white?
Now I absolutely love my mixture.
There’s only one race however, human
We have different color shades, melanin or lack of.
Sicilian people were most conquered bringing a very vast mix of people’s.
I’ve not heard you talk about this as of yet.
When I was born I had to be tested for sickle cell.
I’m considered a mixed person but I do know not all Sicilian people are.
I’m all sorts of interested. I did a dna heritage test and I’m mostly Norwegian/Swede then the shock I found 1% Native American. I where my fourth great grandpa was Pierre vital (Pedro). He had at-least one child with my 4thgrandmother of the pawnee tribe. It’s so cool!
I think Middle-East is the most mixed region in the world because of invades,migrations and intermarriages.
And of course the second region, or let’s say continent is America with north and south.
No, Brazil is followed by India, trust me
A lot of people will look at the real mixed with hate and contempt. SPiscold they don’t care about the facts Bro and if they’re Brazilian then it’s Brazil all the way. Indian is a race.
I recently took a DNA test, and I'm a mix (even if it doesn't look like it) of Japanese / Korean, Chinese / Vietnamese, some Central Asians, like the Kazakhs (and maybe the kyrgyz) and a tiny bit of Finnish. Never thought of that. I'm only 47% Korean / Japanese, and I guessed maybe like 50-70 % Korean.. :) I'm adopted.
Really interesting! I know one asian girl who surprisingly had Finland in small percentage too there.
You got the whole Asians in you, girl.
I have Finnish in me!
Finland language is an unknown origin. Its not germanic like all of northern europe. Finland actually closest tries to Japanese language. Thats what i've heard. Funny thing is there is also a conspiracy theory that japanese were doing illegal Whaling near Finland and had to cover up their activity by creating a language unknown to those in the region. Doesnt make any sense to me. Also a conspiracy tying to the finnish language is that Finland doesnt actually exist but is instead just part of sweden.
I am 87'5% Iberian, the rest north african, am I mixed race?
I really liked your explanation here of what it is to be of mixed race. As a Latino of Mexican and Honduran descent, I grew up using the term mestizo to identify myself. The term literally means mixed in Spanish. My DNA test that I took a few years back clearly substantiates it: 37% Mexican Indigenous, 37% Spanish and the rest made up of many other ethnic groups including sub-Saharan African and Ancient Alien! #RazaCosmica
Basado
Nice! My dad’s Honduran and my moms Irish and some middle eastern I did a dna test and got 69% European 15% Native 10% Asain and North African and middle eastern and 6% sub Saharan African
I’m a bit late but yeah, you described pretty much why Hispanics/Latinos are mixed raced. A combination of western/southern European, Native American/indigenous, and a little bit of African. Just like myself
Ew
I met a person in uni with Spanish first and last names whose skin was dark brown, but with spiky straight hair- he looked like a very dark Mexican. It turns out he is Honduran and a pretty easy going guy. The point is appearances don't tell you who a person is or how he is she identifies in the world. A person gets to do that for themselves. If society labels someone, it's up to that person to at least make the effort to correct that society in some way. As
a tiny bit of that society, I usually view people with a multicultural lens anyway. A woman and I once shared our ancestry backgrounds in conversation, and remarked hers (German +Norwegian) was "rather boring." I remarked that the cultures - despite both being European - were quite diverse, noting the foods (staying away from the lutefisk, mind you) special to each.
I'm a Filipino, my mom has mixed Chinese ancestry while my dad's side has a mix of Spanish and Jewish ancestry.
Interesting
@@prudencel1652 yeah maybe he or she was an descendant of those "manilaners" during ww2 Manuel quezon president of commonwealth Philippines took in jewish refugees that escaped against Austrian painter. Some of them did mix with the natives. Maybe that's the same case? thou i do not know.
I'm Brazilian, my dna results:
70% European (43% Iberian, 8% Italian, 7% Croatian, 7% German, 5% French)
12% Amerindian
9% Northwest African (I was not expecting this, maybe some of my Iberian ancestors were mixed. Idk)
9% Sub Saharan African.

Is that you in the profile picture?
That map you showed of Chinese “dialects”is extremely inaccurate. It’s all over the internet, but anyone who knows Sinic **languages**(not dialects) would understand the extremely flawed nature. The problem is, according to the common attitude of Chinese people, English, French, German, and Spanish would all be considered closely related“dialects”of one another - they have different colloquial standards of differentiating “language & dialect” that 99% of Westerners would disagree with
Absolutely! I like this guy's videos, but when it comes to these nuances, he's just like all other people.
for me Chinese and Vietnamese sound the same.
@@BETOETE Its because the vietnamese have a lot of mixture with the Chinese. Just like in southeast Asia Malaysian and Indonesian and Philippines have the similar language family and genetics. Its due to geography, in Europe there are a lot of germanic sounding and slavic sounding languages. So basically what I'm saying is that some areas will have similarities in language, culture and genetics.
Being South Indian🇮🇳🌴🥥, I'M MIXED ASF😭
to say that everyone is mixed as some do, might be true in a very long term, but it confuses the issue. Some populations have been quite isolated through centuries if not millenia from intercourse with other populations so that they have developed their own phenotype characteristics. You can call them ethnicities if you do not like the word race. For instance, there is no believable offspring between Native Americans and people of other parts of the world between around 10,000 BC and 1492.
I understand what you’re saying but the example you gave is a tad misleading. There was admixture in Arctic America between those dates with Inuit and Aleutian groups coming from far northeast Asia, and there was regular contact across the Bering Strait with Inuit-Aleutian and northeast Asian groups for quite some time.
Admittedly this didn’t have a noticeable effect outside the far North in both North America and Asia, but there was still a tiny bit of contact and the Greenlandic Inuit DNA mixture shown in the video attests to that.
You are right though, it’s very unlikely you’d find someone in 1300s Peru with any ancestors who migrated to the Americas from before 10,000 BC.
Weren’t the Easter islands populated by Southeast pacific people who had interactions with the Native Americans?
@@nejolo9563 the Easter Islanders are polynesians. There was no proven contact between them and Native Americans - some people have speculated of that but no proof
Most of my ancestors are estonians and swedes with smaller part of saami tribe. But since im the 3rd generation without that major rate of mixing, i can say that i'm native swedish.
Andres Karel Polynesians had early contact with South Americans, as that was how they came across the Kumara or sweet potato.
So true Im Afro Carribean I have some of South Asian and some native in my blood I came out with a straight nose and some predominantly south Asian features only two people in my extended family look alot like me
very interesting and diverse region for sure bro!
I would love for you to do a video on the British Afro Caribbean people of Honduras, Nicaragua, and Belize!! It's a very interesting mixed race group. My father is from the Bay Islands, Honduras and many people do not know about this culture and I always find myself having to explain how I am Honduran but not Spanish.
I am half Han chinese and half Dravidian indian but i mostly look like polynesian or native amerindian or austroasiatic
Are you from Malaysia or Singapore? I believe people of that mix are known as 'Chindian' there
@@mindrealminsights6517 I am actually from Reunion Island, a French island (and born near Paris).

@@mindrealminsights6517 Yes we are very close, Reunion people often go to Mauritius, and my mother is actually Mauritian by nationality, being Han by ethnicity. They are both amazing islands, i recommend travelling there. Masaman did a video on people of Reunion and Mauritius (Indian Ocean people more widely).
It's in fact not so similar, the big difference being the french touch of Reunion island.
