They say, “Oh, this person _believes_ they are from such and such place based on what they’ve been told, so we’re going to consider that in our margin of error”
As well, they’ve also admitted to a form of “trolling”
Ya
I have poor internet or I’d find the link, but there was an article quoting a 23&me employee saying they were putting <=.1% Jewish in most white people’s DNA results, just to piss them off
Just lol what @Ald is saying is that the vast majority of white Americans have no Indian ancestors. This is a fact. I think there is a basic miscommunication happening here @Phillip Wiglesworth - FL

Perhaps no qualifying “ancestors”, but best believe that there is shared DNA in there that the _average_ white person of European descent has more of. That’s all.
Jfc
All life has shared dna
why are you arguing this framed this way
just weakens white id
There has been 50,000 years of separate evolution between Indians and Europeans. There are common ancestors, but they were neither European nor Indigenous
I don’t see how it weakens anything.
Whatever bro
Ya @NateDahl76
What I’d be interested in seeing is a DNA report from someone who’s, say a tribal member of the Navajo nation. Can only guess how much “Spanish Conquistador” is in them, from all the conquering and breeding with the Mayans and surrounding tribal nations
A lot of these indigenous nations only require proved ancestry from a long list of members from a century ago, and if they become less than 1/32nd indigenous they get kicked out
I've seen some who appear unmixed in Minnesota
Like, the same as the first photographs of Indians
Some looked mestizo
Well...”first photographs” didn’t appear until after Europeans had been in the Americas for about 400 years or so
It’s really hard to say or imagine what they looked like before all that conquering
OK well, more Indio than Mestizo like
I wonder if there are any 100% SSA slave descendants left
When I was a kid in the 1960s there were quite a few people who looked vaguely indian here in Georgia (olive complexion, jet-black hair, etc.). Most people would talk about them as if they had Black blood. But in either case they ALL wanted to identify as White. But even those peoples' personalities were quite a bit more unstable than your average White person. Huge chips on their shoulders. They were accepted for the most part though. Most of them weren't at all what we used to call "high yaller." They had White features, but we all wondered. There was quite a bit of admixture in the late 18th-early 19th centuries when settlement opened up in Northeast Georgia, but even then it was very, very low status to do that. You could get kicked out of your church. A lot of your liquor-soaked hellions didn't care about that. But fortunately our ancestors had the sense to ship the injuns west. Even that doesn't seem to have hurt the better sort of White Oklahoman; a magnificent people.
I never saw an American Indian for the first like fifteen years of my life
Amerindians are a meme unless you live near a rez
YES YOU DID!!!1!!
you see this line?
that's the economy's econominess
I had some friends in the 70s from Minnesota who had grown up near an Indun reservation up there. They sounded like 19th-century White westerners when they talked about them: bums, thieves, drunks, etc. That's what most Mexicans are. I had a friend in the 80s who had been a mountain climbing instructor in Wyoming in the 70s. He said the injuns would hang around the bars hitting up White people for drinks. "Buy we a drink partner?" Blacks used to do that in Athens, Ga. in the 70s when I was at UGA. It was even worse in downtown Atlanta in the 80s. They just assumed you would feel obligated to pander to them. A lot of Whites did.

I don't even like the Cherokee nation, but good for them
at least some groups remember their pride owed to their ancestors and their nation
