Could someone here just explain why people think Ashkenazi mtDNA is European, all the lines that you'd think are European (e.g. H, U) are in roughly the same proportions as the Lebanese, and the K and N1b lines can hardly be seen as obviously European (besides K2c).

I suppose you would have to presume, though, that they are European in origin by intuition, as Sephardim look (a lot more) and plot slightly more Middle Eastern, and they have far more European Y DNA (Ashkenazim have less than 10%, probably lower), so you'd expect them to have more Middle Eastern mtDNA to make sense given they're more Middle Eastern. Still though, I'm confused, as it also seems like Sephardim have A LOT more European mtDNA too, I mean look at that H and U - there's no subclades here, but still, that is obviously European in origin as Sephardim don't seem to have gone through any severe founder effects to create this much seemingly European mtDNA:
.
That could be North African H though, but then you have to ask why there isn't any mtdna L there that is very present among North Africans. Compare that to Polish Ashkenazi mtDNA:
.
Basically, this question - why do Ashkenazi Jews plot more European, if it seems like their mtDNA (and definitely, by a long margin, their Y DNA) is less European?

Do you have similar circles about Y?
