If i am not mistaken two "|related" can have healthy children if they are DISTANTLY related.
@@user-eu1ky2eh8g hey I'm Taiwanese. I find this interesting because I always thought Korean is an ethnicity. Doesn't China has "조선 족" "고려인"people count as an ethnicity? And don't you guys have very distinctive features? I think Koreans are the easiest to tell among all the Asians just by their face. (I know that Japanese are a mix of two kinds of people so it's a bit harder) Is that a possibility that a particular ethnicity comes from two mixing together? Like in south america most people are mixed and, correct me if I'm not, they're mestizo. I'm interested because us local Taiwanese are a mix of Chinese and "melanesian", and we also have some features which are not that distinctive comparing with Koreans. (However, it's still easy for me to tell Taiwanese from other people. For example, 쯔위 is a mixture of very typical Taiwanese features. A beautiful one though.)

@@a-id1cm China has several nations within it of various levels of autonomy, like Tibet or Inner Mongolia. It is also formed of numerous individual ethnicities, which is why there are so many spoken languages in China, i.e. Cantonese.
Not an Asian but once I technically forced my parents to do this test and when the results came back they said my father was 93% Spanish which is odd since we’re Italian. One year later me and my sister did the test and also found out we’re 30% Spanish and when we told our grandmother we discovered that she lied to my father for 40 years of his life and his actual father isn’t the Italian we thought but a Spanish man she met at University. Apparently she was in a relationship with this Spanish guy but her family had already arranged her marriage with another guy from her hometown so she left the Spanish guy but not before getting pregnant and “luckily” for her she got married soon after with this other guy so it seemed like my father was the Italian guy’s son. All this to say that yeah, maybe it’s useless paying all that money for a test that comes back stating the obvious, but you never know sometimes you could find out some family secret or stuff like that.
This is a norm in White communities that tried getting away from the atrocities committed by British ppl toward other European people in America. It's sad bc White ppl don't realize that some of the same oppressive concepts Blacks experience is part of their deep culture.
lol one of my old roommates did a 23andme with her family for christmas one year & found out her mother's supposed father was NOT her real father. her real father (my friend's grandfather) was actually a bank robber from alabama who was shot 40+ years ago. they went down & had a family reunion with his surviving family
One of the biggest things we were looking for was whether my dad was an illegitimate mob bosses kid, or a kid born to some guy who worked for a casino owner who *happened* to marry my grandmother after she was already pregnant.... Needless to say, eventhough we already knew the answer, we learned the answer....

There is no such thing as 100% Scandinavian. When doing DNA test you should take it first with 23&me. If your Paternal ancestry is R1a that means you descended from the ancient Yamnaya population that lived in the Eurasian Steppe thousands of years ago.

If you are 1st or 2nd generation Chinese, Japanese or Korean yeah… you come from very insular ethnocentric cultures. But Asian Americans from North America, NZ, and Australia that have generations removed from Asia will have more interesting results.
Dna test tells me i am not unique. When you are asian, you need to realize you are not the only one, whatever you are korean, japanese, you need to know there are many people with the same genetics makeup like you out there.

My grandma is from Hawaii, and she tells me that when she was in school it was kind of like, The Thing™️, to ask your friends what they were.

Yeah, I grew up in Hawaii too and she's right. That question about "what else" is spot on too. We have the highest percentage of mixed race people in the country by far, but still plenty of people with only one race here too.
I never understood the obsession for it growing up. I eventually started telling people that I was "A bunch of Europeans and Canadians having an orgy, and some Natives got r*ped in the process" and people didn't like that 🤣

This is what I've been trying to say to fellow Filipinos lmao. But these claims are an effect of racial laws and privileges during Spanish rule. Basically if you say you're mestizo you'd have more rights and privileges etc. Some claims may be true, though, esp on the basis of Iberian surnames, if the surname is not in the Claveria catalogue.

China is an interesting one, since you can somehow look into the ethnicities within China. Usually it just says Han, but if you dig deeper (somehow), you can see the real results. Since many of the minority Chinese groups were forced into being Han when they actually ethnically weren't. It's interesting.
Many many years ago, someone in Pakistan said, I am going east to get some silk. Seems that person had some spare time on the journey. Nine months later, some guy in China fell for the "my grandfather is from a region with darker skin" line. Happened a lot more than we think. Still does.
I remember there is another ancestry test in Asia allows Asian people to know which regions of Asia they came from specifically by percentages. 23 and me is very Caucasian oriented.
Yesss it is chinese based company. The reason why asians get better results there because their sample sizes of Asians are higher so it's easier ti pinpoint your background.
@@frankaenstein it's CircleDNA! I got that, and it's very comprehensive for Asian roots. And it also specifically says which province from China you are, specific province in India, etc.
Filipino here. I initially was skeptical of my rumored Spanish ancestry but I do get mistaken for Hispanic at times so maybe there's something to it. The test did detect "Iberian" ancestry but it was surprisingly Portuguese from the island of Madiera. It was really fun to find distant cousins on the site from Brazil and to then figure out how we all shared ancestors from that part of Portugal. I also had 13% Chinese, 1% Indian and the bizarre 1% Coptic Egyptian😂

It's absolutely amazing to be close to 100% of anything, don't feel bad! Nowadays it seems exciting to be mixed up with 20 different things and that's also amazing. But 100% of anything deserves it's respect. It means your people value their culture and likely were not colonized. That is a blessing ❤
I mean the fact that she is part Japanese means their is like a 99.9999999% chance that her ancestor was raped by the Japanese when they ran up through Korea while attacking China. Because of this, even to this day, Koreans do not condone Japanese and Korean couples.

@Slukke 100% can imply imbreeding. Atleast in a place like europe where theres tons of ethnic groups in close proximity. Its really difficult to achieve that.
@Slukke some people just want to see a lot of different ethnicities because they think it makes an interesting map i guess. like a lot of people here want to know if they are 1% black or native american or whatever as if it makes them more special. its something that shouldn't matter, but it just does to them. that might be more of a usa thing, but being western european is considered milk toast/lame to them.

@@corvus2512Iberia alone is a mix of Celts, Romans, Phoenicians, Berbers, Arabs and Normans. During the Muslim rule you got a lot of Sub Saharan Africans and Turks as well as French, British and Germans during the Reconquista. Then came colonialism and slavery and that brought in a bunch of people from the far east. And then the common descent of all those groups went to South America which covers South American native people. Then on top of all of that, while the US is famous for attracting immigrants, all of South America had huge amounts of immigration (and again, slaves) from all over. And on top of that, the Arabs and Berbers in charge of Iberia were about as prolific when it came to travel, slavery and mixed marriages, exept they also had polygamy which ment a Mislim merchant traveling to China or India could find a local wife and bring her home, so you have two of the most mixed people's on the planet sharing a peninsula and then moving and inviting in even more people from everywhere.
