..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?

As far as there are records. The more people using is and making connections the more you can discover.

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.

The proper term is Anglo-American (you're an AA)

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

I did it a few years ago and it was actually pretty cool. I was able to link up with other family members that I'd never met before but had done some of the research prior. I think they branched off and we're married into my family at some point but anyway.

We actually traced back my grandmothers family like back to Germany in like the 14/1500s when they migrated to France then America. I did some further research and apparently there was some disease spreading in Germany at the time that caused many immigrants to move.

Was pretty cool.

I can claim Hispanic but with Trump being a possibility I don't wanna bring any attention to myself

How much did that cost you?

I'm interested, but the price will determine how interested.

I worked with a guy that was 1/16th Mississippi Choctaw, but you would swear he just stepped off the reservation. Dude looked 100% Native American.

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.
