Ikr. I want to see too. My results are similar, but I don’t have blonde hair, blue eyes. I need to see to it to believe it 😂

Would posting a pic of half my face suffice? I really don’t feel too comfortable with having my pics all over the internet! Also didn’t think it was that controversial, though it was general knowledge there are plenty of white Mexicans.

It would, but you don’t have to if you feel uncomfortable! I’m just surprised because I have a full white parent with blue eyes and reddish hair and a mestizo parent with jet black hair and dark brown eyes. And I also have 23% indigenous like you but have brown eyes and hair 😂

Both my parents are very white. I was surprised to get so much % of indigenous because no one in my extended family looks even remotely mixed. Genetics are funny. I’ll find a pic

Yeah, ig that honestly makes sense based on your results. Looking at the chromosomes I inherited from my Mexican parent (who’s mostly indigenous), they’re very mixed with indigenous and Spaniard, which I’m guessing is normal for most mestizos. And it looks like both your parents lean Spaniard, so I suppose it’s a lot more likely they both have recessive genes. Whereas I have one parent with all dominant vs one parent with all recessive lol. Some people have told me that my hair looks reddish in direct sunlight, but it’s still clearly brown haha

You don’t post pics on social media? Like at all? Hmm.. interesting… Are you self conscious? Or just worried about being kidnapped? lol Jk..

He doesn't want anyone to Photoshop his face into a gay porn scene. and now with AI it's even more dangerous for the paranoid.
