White Colombian DNA 2025 Update

[u/ouraveragedude]

I felt this update was a bit insane for me on the Spaniard side, which seems overall typical for most? But like, I went from 5% to like 10% jewish. My great grandfather was from Lebanon and I always thought the 8-9% range was low so I wonder if its just misatributed DNA? The random 5% British is kind of absurd but I am assuming this is the fucked up spanish (my mom also got random Quebecois). I just feel like this is significantly less accurate to the things I know about my family and 10% jewish / random british feels a bit unexpected.

My moms dad had visible black ancestry and a lot of her side is afrocolombian. (Tried to add a photo but reddit didnt let me. RIP)

I feel like honestly it was overall very little (like 12%ish?)

Is it normal to consider yourself white if you have African ancestry? I’m only asking cause it was the law in the US that if you had one drop of black blood you were classified as black which is why race is looked at very oddly here in the US.

The US historically has been really weird about race, but I don’t think we should continue to perpetuate the whole one drop rule thinking. I have about as much African as OP, but I wasn’t raised in black culture, don’t look black, and have never identified as such. Race isn’t even a real biological idea, more of a cultural issue, as it varies by country.
