..moving forward if you have 3% Native American DNA?

White lady on TV picks other on race since her DNA shows multiple % of race/nationality, even though she probably is a multi-generational American.

I'm sure everyone has a blend of DNA from multiple races/nationalities.

Can I join the BLM movement with 1% sub-Saharan African heritage?

For those with experience, how much does it cost and how far does it go back?

What if you're already a member of a federally recognized tribe and own a casino?

When are we going to get over this obsession with race and realize that, as long as you're not Italian, race doesn't matter?

I'm more native and Portuguese than anything else (not that those percentages are exceptionally high). I put white.

My dad is from Africa, but I always choose "White/Caucasian." The privilege is more valuable than anything a minority gets.

I already do, but it's a lot more than 3%.

I'm ~8% native...50% scot/irish
The rest British/eurotrash

I click all the boxes...

I have no relatives short of a couple thousand years from the Caucasus Mountains, so that's out.

A lot of people are doing the ancestry DNA thing and are being surprised to find out they have no native american heritage after being told their whole life that a great grandparent was half Cherokee or something like that. Happened to a friend of mine, for his whole life he thought he was 1/32 NA, turns out he has zero.

In theory, based on my parents, I am 25% Hispanic. I don't put that on anything. My looks are mostly just like my dad, who is half Dutch.

I am super curious to take one of those DNA tests. $199 is still too rich for my blood.
