His name is Anthony Ekundayo Lennon and he was born to white Irish parents in England. He claims to have taken a DNA test which proved he was about 1/3 West African descent; despite both his parents identifying as white.

I agree, fits in Al-Andalus

You don't see any SSA admixture?

[Halvard]

He looks Quadroon to me

Nordo-Borreby + Berberid?

[Vanu]

I guess his mother cheated.

He looks very unusual.

Irish part went missing.

It's there, you're just focusing on the SSA part.

[Immanenz]

didnt his parents look fully white?

He ended up looking North African: kind of Araboid (=Med)-Berberid with heavy SSA. Only Keltic in diamond face shape / cylindric head shape visible

[Avicenna]

Never heard of a Irish name like ekundayo, he's mixed isn't he ? What does his parents look like?

Uber CM. Defintely does not look black maybe berid.

I can't get over the irony of this guy actually being what so many people here love to claim white Americans to be xD

It's misspelled. It's really "O'kundayo".

[NSXD60]

We wuz High Bernian kangz ' n shit, you honky invaders!

[MobyD]

Bump

[lustermoo]

He did a dna test and ended up 32% SSA

[Zhulta]

The familyname ekundayo sounds kinda african? doesnt it?

[lustermoo]

He gave it to himself

[Zhulta]

Ohh ok i see.

[Avicenna]

It sounds like an African surname, he is definitely mixed .

[Avicenna]

Well that opens up a can of worms

[Zhulta]

are the rumours about his dna test true? I read he just faked it.

[lustermoo]

He used to be accused of faking being mixed but his dna test put those rumours to bed

[Daven]

He looks Quadroon to me


Quadroon

Si este tipo parece un quadroon yo debo parecer italiano o espanol lmao

ps. He doesn't have a very usual phenotype to be hella honest but his bone structure is very SSA-influenced. I could have thought he was a mulatto. In the first pic he looks caucasoid but then the other ones show him more negroid-leaning. Me don't know.

[Vanu]

I know what you mean;)

Ya' think? He looks Swedish to me.

[Grace O'Malley]

It's pretty obvious looking at him and from his dna result it looks like he has a very recent ancestor from Jamaica. They most likely were mixed English/Jamaican. He was born in London. Anyway it's obvious he has. I haven't heard anything about him and don't know what the controversy is.

Just read that he has been accused of faking having African ancestry because he accepted into a scheme helping BAME people get into theatre but it is pretty obvious looking at him that he is mixed. I'm surprised people couldn't see that. It seems that his parents identified as white (just surmising) but he has identified as mixed race for a number of years. Anyway his dna test shows that he was correct but looking at him it is obvious anyway.

It's an interesting case. There most probably are other people that aren't fully aware of their ancestry also.

[MobyD]

Wait a minute! That's a bit redundant.

Who asked you?

[Anglo-Celtic]

Who asked you?

One Eye asked me. He's telepathic like that.

[Grace O'Malley]

Here's his Ancestry dna test so he isn't self-identified as he has substantial SSA ancestry.

https://i.imgur.com/prhYLH0.png

What is interesting to me about this is that he thinks the genes were way back in his tree.


Telling the show that a DNA test had given him 'the raw data of what I've always known', he claimed that he is '32 per cent west African' due to genes 'far back in the family tree'.

And


His parents, Josephine and Patrick Lennon, were white Irish and moved to Paddington, West London, where Anthony Lennon was born in 1965.

But one of his parents obviously has recent Jamaican heritage. Not sure what to make of this story. It's pretty obvious with him and his siblings that he has African ancestry. There is only the one picture of his parents and it doesn't appear that obvious in them. It looks to me like it might be possibly from the mother. Very odd case with the information that is known but the dna tells the truth. It's strange though because one of the parents is English/Jamaican mix so the whole thing is odd.

[aherne]

Mariah Carey type of mix: Negroid really visible in youth but it got eroded as he aged. Pardo

[Westbrook]

It's really not such an odd mystery if you look at the most likely explanation. Has he done a paternity test?

Most Irish are at least 8% SSA. It's why they can't keep a job.

Its him

[Grace O'Malley]

I did think of that but his brothers look mixed as well. It is indeed possible because they apparently don't look like the children of both their parents. Anyway it is obvious looking at his results that one of his parents is an Anglo-Jamaican mix. It does sound suss as far as the paternity because this is something recent and he doesn't appear to understand that but thinks it is just something further back.


Both of us had a sense of this not being our home, or our parents. People would arrive on the doorstep to gawp at us. In primary school, when I was seven or eight, people would ask me where I came from and would conclude that I must be adopted. So, at an age where I didn’t know what race or identity was, I became the subject of whispering and conversation. My best friend was black, and he gave me an afro comb because my mum couldn’t manage my hair.



After my parents divorced when I was 12, we moved into a flat with a Rastafarian couple living upstairs, and the woman would take me up to their flat and I would feel at home. There was a salon where I got my hair canerowed. It was like being adopted or fostered by people who “got” you, or knew what you needed. It was at about that time that I heard the word “throwback”. I wasn’t sure what they were talking about. But in my mind there is no doubt that I have some African ancestry.

Well no this isn't a throwback but recent Afro-Jamaican ancestry. Surprised people can be so uninformed on genetics.

Well not everyone cares about genetics, that's why.

Well he does as he had a dna test. Hopefully now he understands the implications. I don't think people don't care they just don't know. When you discuss dna tests with people many are very interested. More and more people are getting their dna tested.

[Grace O'Malley]

When I made my comment above I was meaning him because of the throw-back comment and something he said even after the dna test. I hope he understands it better now. We are talking in context here. If you get a dna test it is important you have some understanding of the results. Otherwise what's the relevance? It's subjective to say people don't care. Some people are very interested and some people just have very limited knowledge or no knowledge on the topic.

To put the shoe on the other foot I don't understand people still going on about phenotypes. What does that tell anyone about someone? Where do Atlantids come from? :p You can generally tell where someone is from but genetics is much more informative. Getting back to the thread this man thought he had African ancestry because people were always saying he was black. He did think he was fully Irish though but it was "throw-back genes". :) Stupid theory anyway but with the test it pinpointed exactly where he got his African looks from.

in a debate whether to declare the republic "sovereign",
which would mean that republic's laws would take precedence over Yugoslav ones:

„Ово није добро што ви радите. Ово је пут на који ви желите да изведете Босну и Херцеговину иста она аутострада пакла и страдања којом су пошле Словенија и Хрватска.

He looks textbook quadroon, even. A normie more or less familiar with racial types should be able to pick him up in a crowd.

Yes he does, but what's your point?

That the surprise of some people about him not being "pure" has no basis, when a simple glance at the shape of his head and face should be enough to detect alienness, even for a normie.

Nah yea one of his real parents was at least half black. A quick trip to the Maury show would clear up this mystery, or at least answer a couple of things.
