Dominicanese's myheritage DNA results

[Morena]

What do you mean only? That’s a large chunk of his ancestry.

To me he looks more African than 25%.

He does. He will insist hes a white dominican.

He does. He will insist hes a white dominican.

But by the standards of the Dominican Republic, it is so. Personal identification is subjective and cultural.

Is that him in his profile picture? Looks quite light skinned. Blurry picture though. Anyways, maybe his African ancestry is more dominant.

Also, his Euro mixture is Iberian and not north European. That may also play a role.

Why do you score 6.4% Balkan?

I score balkan too. 23andme leaves a large part as broadly southern european. But in ancestry you will score italy greece for that area.

He has a lot of pics in the regular section. He is very light skinned, but still "high yellow" by American standards. In Cuba, I think he would be considered within the mulatto range and in the US, he is part of the high yellow black caste. He would pass the paper bag test for sure. It's his features that give him the distinctive west african vibe, IMO.

Sorry about talking about you Dominicanese. XD

Yeah, there are different names if you want to be more specific, such as hexadecaroon for one sixteenth African.

This is not used in real life. 1/16 SSA is white basically.
