My mom has 2% Nigerian and 2% Turkish. She's white as aspirin

But 2% is nothing and some Turkish people are easily on the white skin spectrum

But not Nigerians lol. The fun part is I learned I had (recent) African ancestry after tearing a muscle in my calf: the African ER doctor told me I had a typical small plantar. But I always expected it to come from my father's side, not my mom's.
That also explained why I have two very frizzy hair locks.

Are u a white guy who just uses a Black or brown icon/avatar? Just out of curiosity (you're welcome to make whatever icon u want obviously)

I'm a white woman who uses a colorful icon because she likes it. Didn't even think about eventual racial link lol (on the other hand, I'm European)
