23andMe Average Results (Caribbeans, Mexico, CA and SA)

[Argentano]

Middle class Haitians which is a minority are griffle range. On average Haitians are 90% African or even above that. The Argentine sample is also very biased possibly because many samples belong to migrants of recent European heritage who just borned in Argentine but their parents didn't

Well, yes, in most tests argentines in most tests score 20/25% or even above of their gene-pool and normally it's two times more than uruguayans, brazilians and boricuas (in the last three countries the % is accurate around 10% and 12% for Puerto Rico, but Argentina scored 10% native and indeed it's too low).
But of course, I think that there are around 200 samples until now.
But it should be better soon with more ones, and results will be more reliable for sure.

1)Argentine studies have argentina around 70% euro. This 23andme result is around 80% euro so it isnt VERY BIASED. Its a pretty similar result. A +-10% different isnt VERY BIASED.

2)ALL the countries are a little more euro in this 23andme averages than in actual studies, its not just Argentina. The difference is that the argentine study looks almost white so you think its worse but its almost the same difference as the others

Sure, I know that the difference is not huge.
I don't find it biased, just only "a little different" of the majority but it's not bad.
Imdeed it's quite similar to the most studies based on AMBA and even less Euro than which was made by Lujan.
That study if I remember well was on average 86% Euro or something similar.
Conclusion, this % are almost ok, but may be they could change a little with more samples.
Indeed I am waiting for a study of a friend who is from Cordoba.
Even though he is around 95% Euro judging his Natgeo and LivingDNA, so he should score a very similar result on 23andme.

How much euro is Buenos Aires province? 82-84%?

[Erronkari]

How much euro is Buenos Aires province? 82-84%?

Exactly, friend.
The province is around what you said.
And the capital city around 76/79.

[Zuh]

Exactly, friend.
The province is around what you said.
And the capital city around 76/79.

I'm amazed how European are some Argentinean regions while others are as Bolivia.

Exactly friend.
It's a very diverse country.
I mean if we compare the central region with some parts the northwest (Salta and Jujuy) the diversity is huge.

Here is the Latino demographics of the USA

Peruvians: Majority of them are middle to working class of Peru. They not only have a large population of immigrants with a college degree but their medium surpass the average American income
"Despite being a relatively recent ethnic group, the median household income for Peruvians meets the average American household income and 30% of all Peruvians over the age of 25 have college degrees, exceeding the US national average of 24%"


Costa Ricans: Majority of them are upper to middle class population, most of them have a college degree or are exchange university students
"According to the Center for Latin American Monetary Studies, most Costa Ricans abroad have university studies or are studying at universities or performing professional or technical work, of which 65% are in the United States."


Cubans: Majority of them are exiled white Cubans who left their island for the USA


Colombians, Argentines, Uruguayans, Venezuelans: Majority of them are middle to upper class who left their countries for the USA, out of three nationalities, Colombian has the most number of working to lower class population, but still, the vast majority of them are middle to upper class Colombians, especially the ones who live in Florida

"42% of U.S.-born Colombian-Americans (Colombinos) are more likely to have earned a bachelor's degree or higher, as compared to 30% of foreign born Colombians."
"The Colombians and Colombino who live in poverty, 16%, is the same as the rate for the general U.S. population and lower than the rate for Hispanics overall at 25%."

Florida has the highest population of Colombians



Dominicans: The first wave of Dominican migration was composed of relatively well-off individuals, as well as people from urban and small-town middle and lower-middle classes. Dominicans who arrived during the Latin American debt crisis of the 1980s, known as the “lost decade,” consisted of both the very poor and members of the professional class.

around 70% of the Dominican population in the USA comes from El Cibao which is their whitest region, and over 80% of the Dominicans on 23andMe are of El Cibao roots



Haiti: "In addition, most of the migrants were from the poor masses; vast disparities existed between the Haitian wealthy elite and the poor. Suffering from less education, many have had difficulty flourishing in the United States. Waves of Haitians made it to the shores of Florida seeking asylum."

There is no such thing as a middle class in Haiti, you are either very poor or very wealthy, and none of those from the wealthy class has left, the vast majority of them have been poor Haitians



Puerto Rico: Puerto Rico is the only Latin American country where 23andMe ships to, therefore, it is obvious who are the ones buying these DNA kits
but at the same time, there are more Puerto Ricans in the USA than in Puerto Rico and 23andMe has a large chunk of those mainland Puerto Ricans



Mexico: "Most immigrants from Mexico, come from the lower classes and from families generationally employed in lower skilled jobs. They also are most likely from rural areas. Thus, many new Mexican immigrants are not skilled in white collar professions. The Mexican median household income was a mere $37,390 compared to that of $49,487 and $54,656 for immigrants and native-born populations respectively. This pushed 28% of Mexican families to live in poverty."

Most immigrants from Mexico have been coming from Northern and Western-Central Mexico with about 15-20% Southern Mexicans in the USA, which a large chunk of those Southern Mexicans are of Native American background who do not even speak Spanish





So in conclusion, you need to read more about what type of immigrants are these Latinos in the USA, once you do, then you will see why they are scoring so high in their European component
