    Hello about the Puerto Rico people you should considerate that the most of the Spanish people that went to boriquen were not actually Spanish from the continent. The most of them were Canarian Islanders, the Canarys were a mix between Spanish and the Aborigen people of the islands The Guanches and the Guanches were tribes that develop in the islands but in the Origen they were from the north of Africa the area of the Sahara Desert. So if you have adn from north Africa this is included in your Canary roots. Saludos desde Gran Canaria.

    The Celtiberian DNA comes from the Iberian female side. The Celtiberian (native people of the Iberian Peninsula) males were basically wiped out of Spain. In modern Spain few males will show a small Celtiberian DNA. This is the result of Spain and Portugal being countries that had many invasions through their long history.

    Spain and Portugal had empires before the British empire that were strong and widespread. Both were explorers and both had interests in the west indies and South America. It was actually the Portuguese that started the slave trade. The Italians too were explorers Amerigo Vespucci was an Italian merchant, explorer, and navigator from the Republic of Florence, from whose name the term "America" is derived. He became a Castillian citizen in 1505. The Iberian peninsula was a Muslim caliphate for centuries, Spain was under African control . Al-Andalus, also called Muslim Spain, Muslim kingdom that occupied much of the Iberian Peninsula from 711 AD until the collapse of the Spanish Umayyad dynasty in the early 11th century.

    Yes colorism exist within the Puerto Rican and Latino communities. That's why there was a controversy with the movie, 'In The Heights'. They had mostly light skin or white passing Latinos in lead roles in this movie. If the guy in the video let his hair grow longer, he most likely can pass for white. He don't have to worry about the cops pulling his behind over or beating him like George Floyd. I am Afro Boricua and I've seen first hand the discrimination against Afro Latinos. If you're black and speak Spanish, people look at you as if you're from another planet. My race is black and my ethnicity is Puerto Rican.

    Well actually you can’t assume that because he’s actually has been pulled over a few times. Yes colorism in the Caribbean completely exists. As a female, I think we experience more of it because we need to straighten our hair, stay out the sun, bleach your skin to stay brown or become lighter. I believe many people see the Caribbean as a melting pot so they don’t think there’s any problems, but many of them follow the European standard of beauty.

    Because the Caribbean aka The West Indies is a melting of European, African, Asian, and some indigenous people. Yes, the Caribbean did look different before Columbus, but they killed most of their population. So they brought over African slaves and indentured Indian servants to do the field work. Also the names of islands today, were not the same before Columbus as we stated in the video. Jose has Taino ancestry which are the indigenous people of his country. Some Caribbean people do have indigenous blood in them but when mixed with multiple races, it is not dominant. Yes, I am mostly African so I refer to myself as Afro-Caribbean but I do know a few of my ancestries had European roots.

Since coming to America all your saying your family has done is claim a whole identity that your all not because supposedly the indigenous people died. So you claim that the indigenous people died does that now give your whole family the right to claim your the true indigenous people, cause that’s what you did until your DNA results came back and broke down the facts that your 98% African That means during your whole time here in America your DNA has not changed. Just cause your here in America and not in Africa, your DNA is still your DNA and to have family you claim come from the Caribbean yet your 98% African Says that even while here in America on the Caribbean islands you still managed to keep 98% of your African roots So what’s wrong with that? What’s so bad about Africa or African people that you’d lie about being who you are? Better question is what I’d do great about the Caribbean Indigenous people that you and your family feel the need to claim to be them instead of who you guys really are? Also if you have any European ancestors it was one person the results are out of 100% You are 98% African and that’s literally the textbook definition of an African hunny.

    Your paternal haplogroup is European so do not waste your money testing with African Ancestry Paternal Test. They do not provide any information on Non African Results except the haplogroup and country nothing more. If your mother's maternal haplogroup is L(African), African Ancestry will provide you with the specific tribe and country your maternal line began with along with other information. I know this for a fact because I had my mother tested with African Ancestry. She descended from an African Woman and she was satisfied with the results and information she received. This is not to bash African Ancestry, just trying to save you money because the test is not cheap. A lot of people were disappointed because they assume since they are Black they descend from an African man or woman which is not necessary true. If the had tested with a company such as 23 and Me that provide their haplogroup they could have save their money.

    Shay, 23&Me may not have any DNA samples from your different ethnic groups yet. This could be the case because 23&Me is so expensive. For example, I have 13% European DNA. It all shows up differently. Ancestry has my Euro DNA 🧬 at 9% and MyHeritage has me at 10. BUT GedMatch has me at 13% , which is consistent with 23&me…except 23&Me excluded Portugal and gave me more British instead. Ancestry dna included Portugal but excluded another ethnic group. Myheritage didn’t include Iberian (which was weird because my uncle is my match and he has 8% Iberian BUT they haven’t done any updates 🤔) I have North African, Middle Eastern and West Asia but it only shows up on Myheritage because that’s where my relatives tested. What I’m saying is this…your results will probably keep fluctuating until someone in your distant family from an ethnic group takes the test. When ancestry did an update all of a sudden Portugal showed up and then these relatives from Latin America showed up. When an Arab relative test with Ancestry DNA, and 23&me then my Middle Eastern dna will be reflected. But until then, they’ll throw in the highest percentage with Subsaharan Africa
