And relentless with it.Drais was being a mess in here but some of what he said rang true. It does create an identity crisis of some sort. If I've always identified as Black, always saw Black when I looked in the mirror, why are people questioning that? What are they seeing that I don't see?It actually makes sense that my grandmother's DNA is a bit "off" from the norm. She has more Asian DNA than European DNA. That's just not normal for an African-American. African slaves had more contact with Europeans when they arrived here, and in SOME cases, Native Americans. And African American DNA usually reflects that - the results are usually African, some European due to the slave trade and maybe a DASH (1%) of Native, if that. Not 10% Asian randomly thrown into the pot. And even her 7% European component is in line with Polynesian genetics (Scandinavia). oh wow
