What ethnicities do you identify as?

[TaySan]

I love genealogy and i recently took an AncestryDNA test and found out i'm English/Danish, Irish and Ashkenazi Jewish . :) Have you ever took a DNA test or have learned about your Ancestry/Ethnicity? Were you surprised or shocked by the results?

Edit-I'm an American first above everything else of course and it's not super important, but i just think it's just interesting to learn how my family came to be in America. : P

[Heromanz]

American?

 

[CoolOff]

I mean, my mom has done some fairly extensive genealogy, and I don't have anyone in my ancestry who lived outside Sweden all the way back to some Walloon who emigrated here for work in the early 18th century, so... really, really Scandi white I guess?

Why did you blackout your name Taylor?

Persian and turkish

*waves fist at any greeks posting*

 

[Chikor]

I consider myself white and Jewish, in that order.
I don't need to do a DNA tests to know the countries my ancestors came from, but the fact that my grandparents were born in Lithuania don't have a ton of impact on my life nor is it an important part of how I define myself.

Norwegian, Swedish, Ashkenazi Jew and Swiss. Never taken a DNA test but I know that's what my ancestors were.

Mexican, im 100% sure my ancestry can be traced back to many other races and ethnicities, but that's mexico for you, we're mixed as fuck.

Im white hispanic. Family is a mix of spanish, italian and Central America native.

 

[DrewFu]

American. I honestly don't care about whatever my ethnic descent it - I'm American.

I refuse to be one of those Americans where because they're of say, German descent, they say that "I'm German". Or "I do xyz because I'm IRISH!"...No you're not, you're American.

 

[steviestar3]

White/Italian/Polish

My last name is Italian but I think I look more Polish than anything else, especially my facial hair. I've got some German/Jewish in there too from my mother's side.

I have no personal interest or connection to any non-American cultures though so really I guess I'm just a generic American white dude.

 

[FernandoRocker]

I'm brown, like a brownie. But I suppose a light brown?

I really don't know my heritage, but I'm Mexican. So I suppose a little bit Spaniard and lots of indigenous?

 

[Deleted member 15948]

Just so you know, OP, those tests are not generally that accurate. "European" is as close as you can get with any degree of real confidence.

 

[EchoChamber]

I can clearly see that your name is Taylor OP.

 

[shnurgleton]

I am a White

Have some family roots in Wales on one side but that's the closest I'm gonna get to having some ethnicity more specific than just Northern European

Don't really fancy my DNA getting sold to literally anyone with a few bucks, so no thanks on the tests, my dude.

Yea i figure the best way to trace your ancestry is through your Family Tree. From my research the results seem to be accurate.

 

[Jedi2016]

I haven't done the DNA test myself, but my mother is English/Irish.

I generally identify as White & Nerdy.

yes i read the question correctly

 

[Tamerlane]

Both of my parents are Indian but most people think I'm white or arab. I don't have any strong connections to Indian culture so I just consider myself Canadian.

 

[hombremalo]

Like a White but I tan in summer.

[Forerunner]

I'm biracial. One of my sisters did a DNA test a while back and got:

Germanic Europe: 36%
England, Wales and Northwestern Europe: 18%
Benin/Togo: 17%
Cameroon, Congo, and Southern Bantu Peoples: 12%
Mali: 9%
A bunch of other stuff: 8%

It seems accurate. My mother is white and my grandparents always said they were from German and English descent. My father is black and all those countries and regions are on the West coast of Africa which would imply his ancestors were brought over during the slave trade.

~50% Irish

I was thinking this way before taking the test, but since i've taken blood tests before i figured the government already has my DNA information on me anyways.

 

[Deleted member 2109]

White.

Both parents are scottish and I don't really care enough to dig deeper.

Alsatian (not the dog) and French, in that order.

 

[TheCthultist]

Polish, Italian, German, and Scottish; with each % gettign smaller as you go down the list.

That's unfortunate, as I was about to congratulate you on being one of the world's single coolest dog breeds.

 

[Rats]

White.

My surname is Dutch, and my mom's maiden name is Polish. Other than that I'm not terribly interested in the particular breakdown between arbitrary European borders.

 

[Bodyshot_Wizard]

Arab.

From Yemen.

 

[GlitchyDegree]

My mom is black & my dad is white so I identify as both.

 

[Bakercat]

White/American. Never took a test, nor plan too. My skin is white and i was born in America, thats all i care to know.

I did 23&Me a while back. My breakdown was:

- 50% Ashkenazi Jewish (my mother's side)
- 25% Iberian Peninsula
- 10% General Southern European
- 10% Native American
- 5% General East African

My father is Cuban, so everything that isn't Jewish is from him. The Native American bit, I would assume, is Taino, which I've started to read more about lately.

I identify as a mutt, which is what I am. I'm Latino and Jewish, primarily, but when you're mixed, those communities aren't always as welcoming as you'd hope. I'm a gringo to hispanics and goyim to jews, so it just became easier to think of myself as a blend and leave it at that.

 

[King Alamat]

White and Filipino.

 

[HomokHarcos]

I identify myself as North American.

 

[Mobu]

My family as far as i can trace it are all from Mexico, were caucasian so i assume it eventually goes back to Spain though
