Thank you for being honest about the Colorism that goes on in the DR. I have heard how most Dominicans denounce being black and now with Amara La Negra being a famous Domincan, it has now been brought to the forefront. Also, loved that Randy says that he does not care what people think about him!

You must understand, the people of Hispanic America reject the one drop rule that the English installed in their colonies in North America and the Caribbean. However, colorism is a major in the Caribbean, North America, and especially areas that have a high amount of African descendants.

Never would have guessed Haitian. I grew up in Miami around so many Haitians. That was a surprise. The Dominican results are not surprising but sheds more light on how much they are mixed with.

I would never have guessed she is over 50% African. Most "black" or black looking Latinos have less black percentage in their ancestry than they actually appear to have.

We don’t deny it, but just identify with Black/African American. My ancestry was very similar where I have Cameroon, Benin, England, Mali, France, Spain, Italy, and they even said that my ancestors were from the Louisiana creoles, and African Americans. That’s the only place in the US that my people were from. Super accurate on that. Gorgeous couple. People always think that I’m Dominican.

I (Randy) used to get that quote a lot. Thanks for watching.

I guessed a mix of European and African for both of you but after that it could be so many nations! That mix is found everywhere around the Mediterranean and the Middle East and then so much of North, Central and South America including of course the Caribbean. So no wonder people place you all over the world! The Native American of course then places you firmly in the Americas. I would say the beautiful woman looks more obviously Latina while the gentleman could indeed be Brazilian or Iranian 😄

Very interesting. Thanks for sharing.

I have not heard the results yet but goodness you two look so much alike! It’s like you are twins! 😱

What! Haitians! Well anyway what a beautiful mixture.

For the gentleman I guessed that he would have some middle eastern, African, European, and maybe just a little native American. For the lady, native American, Spanish, other European, as well as a little African. It just shows how hard it can be to guess someones Genetic makeup. Now for the important part. I think that they are both 100% really nice, good people.

Greek or Italian or Spanish for Randy ? I would guess Dominican for Maria , they're so pretty . Wow , that's amazing , your ancestors were over the mountains from each other .

I'm Bosnian. TBH, you can pass as many ethnicities in the Balkan Peninsula.

I hate that when people say oh it's only 1% as old Lee this percent but that 1% was your ancestor and without that ancestor you wouldn't be you test of the members of your family siblings to see what comes out

I tried Ancestry DNA and 23andMe. Somethings my DNA results lined up right with; I'm Black American, but I have Native American, Spanish, African, and Irish background I'm aware of. My mother's side of the family have been living in the Houston Texas area since Texas was Mexico, Republic of Texas, and New Spain. I can speak, read, and write Spanish and English. My Spanish Family came from Barcelona Spain to Texas. While living in the Houston Texas area they were documented later as Mexican while Texas was Mexico and also white when Texas joined the U.S. My DNA pulled up 2% Iberian Peninsula and 8% Native American in which was located in the area where Mexico is located (Aztec). I'm also Cherokee and Choctaw in which the region where those tribes were in the Mid-Eastern part of the U.S. was highlighted also. I knew about the Irish also in which was 4% then it turn to a different percentage along with Scottish, Irish, British, French, German, Norwegian, and an Asian country all being a percentage that added up to 15%. The rest were countries in Africa my 46% Nigerian changed to under 15% along with other African Nations that were first posted in which Ivory West Cost took the lead, and I also have Hunter Gatherer in there too. Overall somethings surprised me but I did know of my family's history before taking the test through being told by elders, pictures, legal documents, and recorded family tree history. I think your results are awesome, and you two resemble the background in which your from. Qué tengas un buen día a hoy, y mucho más días de bendiciones en tus futuro 💃

I thought Puerto Rican or a black/white mix initially.

Cameroon used to be part of Nigeria. I could see why a lot of people were getting their DNA narrowed down as the systems get more refined.

Ok. Well I was so taken aback I didn’t even want to guess what ethnicity he was.

I won the bet. What do I get?

so, I guess the guy is mixed. African (west and north), European (including ashkenazi jewish), Middle Eastern and Native American/East Asian. let's see if I am right....

I was Nigerian at first on Ancestry now it says Cameroon for all people of color. Not sure what that is about.
