Interestingly, I am more distant from a tribe of South American Indians (and it is very possible, perhaps probable, that I have some indigenous ancestor from colonial times) than from the Indians of North America.

I only know even my great-grandparents superficially. I don't have well-documented ancestors, only reports.
A considerable part must be colonial.
My grandfather, who died when I was a child, told my father about a "German" ancestor who "didn't speak Portuguese very well" (I can't tell if he knew the person or just heard about him). My father was never very interested, not like me. So it was a doubt that I even had the possibility of doing a genetic test.
On my mother's side, what I have heard was about "Italians", which is possible, since I have the genetic group "northern Italians from Portugal in Minas Gerais and São Paulo". Another genetic group is the "Spanish", which I could already tell by one of my maternal grandfather's surnames, namely, "Lacerda" (La Cerda = can be bristles, pig's bristles or the animal female pig, well, I naturally prefer the generic bristles).
I know of no Black or Moorish blood relatives. I heard a lot about Amerindian ancestors, but if I do, it must be from 1800 A.D. or earlier.
The darker pigmentation of most of my relatives comes not from Amerindians, but from Africans or even dark Iberians. But since genetic percentage estimation per generation is not exact science, residual Amerindian DNA may not be as old as I suppose.

All around me are familiar faces, worn out places, worn out faces
Bright and early for the daily races, going nowhere, going nowhere

I don't pass the blackness by a few decimals either, but it is still a clear Caucasian base with very slight spices. In this forum I have heard Russians who think of themselves as inferior races because they are 20% Asian. On the other hand, for Chinese or Japanese racists we would be trash (and they also think that about each other).
It all depends from where you look at it, like the theory of relativity.

Yes, there is something subjective and limited by cultural references, on the other hand there is something objective as well, which prevents us from extrapolating the considerations.
Well, I'm not a relativist or a nominalist, I think there's the absolute and the essential or universal. That some biological man feels like a woman does not imply that everyone is obliged to recognize him as such (In fact, I think that no one should be forced to agree to something); and if a man feels like a dog, he needs psychiatric treatment.
But the racial issue is not so clear: what does it mean to be "blond"? What does it mean to have "fair skin"? To those who read it, it seems obvious even to consider the spectrum of many layers of human types.
The ethnic question, then, is the closest to relativism, the most justified by subjective identification. A Sudeten German could have 75% Czech DNA and be "German." A woman who is 25% Jewish, if she has a Jewish maternal lineage, she is Jewish in relation to their criteria (hers and her people). The objective side is that it makes no sense for a Brazilian without East Asian ancestry to feel Japanese because he likes anime.
I am aware that I do not belong to a specific people (and I am not limited to DNA).
Any honest one has to admit that there is no such thing as "Brazilian culture" (a place that fits all countries in Europe excluding Russia). The attempt to force a "Brazilian identity", which I don't know when it began, intensified with Getúlio Vargas, and was dully insisted on by open television networks, especially at sporting events and during the odious carnival. When the two unifying principles of Brazil, namely the Imperial Crown and the Catholic Church, ended or were corrupted, "Brazil" became a definition reduced to the extent of land, being arbitrary beyond this geographical limit.
As for me, I like and identify with European culture in general: art (music, architecture, painting, literature and poetry); philosophy; traditional religiosity; the European History; languages (I love the Portuguese language); beauty in general). I feel pan-European.
