I feel like jubilee made them not talk about their ancestors to make it more surprising for the DNA test reveal,unless they all really didn't understand the prompt

I think "race" based on phenotype (or color if you will) it's a very touchy subject for me, and it's ID10T that humanity still treat others differently due to phenotype..... even in my own family I've felt this, which is why I never want anyone to feel that way.... "you're too white to be black, to black to be white, too yellow to be south Asian, too purple (yes I've been called purple) to be east Asian" I was not born the US, this is something that happens worldwide unfortunately #endoffitcomment

Did that girl just fall into the trap of equating using the African-American vernacular as not being well-spoken? I am a linguist and a multilingual. I speak the vernacular and that does NOT equal slang (I use very little) but my default accent and vocabulary are the vernacular when I slip into English from whatever European language I am speaking depending on which country I am in at the moment..No european has EVER told me I was not well-spoken.... They have made the mistake of doing the "you speak so well" thing when speak a language other than English, or being sceptical that I can do it in the first place but that is because of my being American.

This needs to be viewed by everyone.

I love when you get all…”but facts, science, numbers, gahhhh!”. Keep doing you, boo. Someone has to.

It's all about skin colour in the USA. Someone can be half South Asian and half black and not be "seen" as mixed-race or bi-racial due to dark skin colour.

I’ve seen this Jubilee video a million times & I’ve talked about the light skin guy & the guy with the white great-grandparents on my own channel as examples of what it means to be MGM. But of course I had to watch it again with your perspective which is always greatly appreciated.. My guess is that the guy with the two white great-grandparents has two biracial grandparents. If he had a white grandparent, I feel like he would’ve just said that he has a white grandparent or half white parent as opposed to “I have two white great-grandparents.” It’d be like a biracial person saying they have two white grandparents when they could’ve just said they have a white parent. But someone who’s the child of two biracial people (an MGM), they might say they have two white grandparents. But of course in his case, as you said, his European ancestry from them still totals roughly 25% either way (not counting his other smaller bits of European from his black ancestors).

I appreciate your take on this. Thank you.

I would call the Eritrean young lady an outlier. She should not be in this group. Yes, she is African but from a different haplogroup (I am assuming). She is most likely E1b1b and the others on the panel are E1b1a. Both are African haplogroup but hers is closer to North Africans who share the same haplogroup. In other words she is not west African. It is like comparing apples and oranges.

One could do this exercise for any country that is a mixing pot.

This doesn´t necessarily mean he doesn´t have a lot of German ancestry. These tests show which groups your DNA is similar to, not necessarily where your ancestors are from, although this is often the same. North Germans are genetically similar to English and Scandinavian people, so his German ancestry might be read as English or Scandinavian. I have some German friends from Lower Saxony (North-West Germany) whose test results gave them English and Scandinavian but no German, even though they don´t recall having any recent non-German ancestors. Therefore, their German category must be more connected to central and southern Germany. So, he might be German after all.

Great video! I understand more about the difference between ancestry and cultural aspects.

Great topic and explanation at the end. I think it's definitely the case that DNA and population genetics is not favorable to intolerant folks. It's one of the great key happenings of our modern times just for that alone.

I so wish there had been more nuance. Like this kind of comparison is really interesting to me, because you could have 2 people who look so similar but have wildly different ancestry.

I really liked this video, I 'm going to share with my friend.

My immediate family and friends put granulated, not brown, sugar in our spaghetti, along with chili peppers. Got to have a bottle of hot sauce as well. We are Black.

I think that the video would be too long to show us the detail of what we're really curious about in their results. I had researched before but last year I took a DNA test and seeing the percentages in the DNA results was a surprise. My grandmother is 1st generation Italian American so I expected 25% Italian, but I saw 8% Northern Italy, but if I add up the Northern Italy and the smaller percentages of nearby places I come up with 20% Italian. The 73% Germananic Europe was certainly not a surprise, but I wasn't certain if the family's statement of being German/PA Dutch was completely accurate since yes that is the heritage of the community we grew up in but when you trace back to the REvolutionary war and know that you have to go further back to reach immigration, you don't really know. but last week, I found a record of my 10th great grandfather having moved from France to join the the religious group which travelled all over the German states due to persecution before finally coming here in 1734; everyone on that ship was of this religious group and I thought all of them were German (the part of my ancestry that I was sure was German!), but now I know where my 1% French comes from. A year ago I assumed that the 1% French was an anomaly.

Jubilee did another video where they “tested” the idea of culture “blackness”, at least the way it’s used in the US. it was a blind folded episode, and one of the volunteers was as European looking as you can get. People would eliminate after some discussions and questions. I can’t remember the results, but I do remember the “plant” lasted a long time. The point was the AREA he grew up. Inner city, lower income. Most of his friends were African American (as far as he knew), so grew up with very similar speech patterns, vernacular, slang, interests in tv/music, understood micro aggressions, etc. Ethnicity is not the same as culture. Yes they can be similar, but they aren’t the same. Jewish ethnicity and Jewish religion are not equal and mean different things, and needs to be approached with nuanced. The only other group that has traveled a ton for a long, long time while traditionally marrying within their own ethnicity AND culture that I can think of off the top of my head.

Totally agree about focusing on the matches rather than the regions of ancestries. I know my ancestry is 92.4% British, Scottish and Northern Irish, and 6% German/French with the rest Scandinavian or generally northwestern European. But the matches are what really count.

My family is so mixed that we run the gamut from very very dark to looking completely Caucasian. And sometimes this happens to siblings one is very dark and the other is very light.

It’s true, and I’ve known people in the U.S who fit into this category, who don’t even know the names of or anything about all of their grandparents, their names or personal history. I find that amazing, since I’m really into genealogy and I can go back to at least the identity of all of my 3d great grandparent‘s, their places of origins, and dates and places of birth.

No way does Bryanna appear to be "more Caucasian", no matter what she does to her hair, not in the US.

The sugar in the spaghetti thing, from what I have heard from runners (cross-country) is that it’s an athletic thing-I guess it cuts the acidity.

Interesting, but I think that they knew the difference between North African and the other parts, I mean than South African can be even range to Indian/South Asian descent or European

I put sugar in spaghetti when i was younger

The way I see it you can be culturally something and your ancestry can be something else. From my experience being adopted by Hispanics parents, but having European ancestry that does not include the Iberian Peninsula. The cultural ties are stronger than the DNA or ancestral ties specially if you have no clue or are aware of were or who your DNA comes from.

It's so funny how you and Creole Lady Marmalade in the comments mentioned this vid. I saw it after first uploaded and Wayne and I are the same percentage "black" although we don't appear alike, he looks heavily Xosa and or San from South Africa or Esan from Nigeria to me? I'm part, @ 5%, Eswatini/Swazi and San. Btw, it wasn't difficult for me to understand this experiment, Black is Sub Saharan. 😉 I'll have to disagree with you about accuracy of percentages because both Autosomal tests that I took gave me "in general" the same?

Eritreans are genetically similar to Ethiopians, who are around 50-60 % sub saharan African. So she would be more in the middle.

Hi Jarrett. I’ve read that many „White“ (for lack of a better word) US southerners have a small percentage of African DNA, for reasons similar to the reverse (but not rape) of why so many African-Americans have about 15-25% European ancestry. Amongst „White“ southerners it can run a few percentage points up to 5-7%? Have you heard this and do you believe it to be true? Any references for this? So much for the Jim Crow „one drop rule.“ It’s an interesting twist on the history of the U.S. South.

5-7% Sub- Saharan African blood in white people may be a result of lighter skinned A.A. ancestors passing for white, and continuing to marry whites. In the past, even 20-30 years ago, this disclosure would have upended their lives in terms of work and where they could find housing.

@ThatSuzanneSchmid

I would think it's all mainly due to rape. Today's southerners might be descendants of light skinned enslaved people who were able to pass and marry white. I don't think there was very much consensual sex during slavery and before it was legal to intermarry.

The DNA results from North Africa could be challenging to determine due to significant population shifts caused by invasions from the Greeks, Romans, Arabs, Ottoman Turks, and colonization by the French and British. These invasions led to the migration of the majority of the indigenous black population to other parts of Africa.

I recently finished making a comment on another video regarding the Taino on Puerto Rico, where an elder erroneously attached extra meaning to the meaning of the word Indigenous (he tried to attach language-speaking & spirituality prerequisites to a word that simply means origin or birthplace). 🙄 Folk say the craziest things sometimes (been there & done that myself on occassion). 🤪 Is it just me, or do others also see within the Black community - regarding "Blackness" - two events: an older event which was like a social pendulum swinging one way & then the other way with changing circumstances over a period of many years [like folk adhering to the 1-drop policy when it was in effect - & for a short while thereafter as well - acting rather inclusively, saying that all Black folk should unite, help take care of one another, & not be overly concerned as to one's skin tone ('cept maybe some of those folk trying to pass for White, if they could, for purposes of making a better living); & then seeing those born after the 1-drop policy was overturned starting to act more exclusively, pushing away other Blacks & starting to tell some of them that they're not Black]; & then, the newest event being like looking at a bouncing American football (where one moment Blacks are comparing skin tones to exclude, & then there's one short moment where the cry is that all Blacks must unite, but then in what seems like the blink of an eye, the next moment some young & voiciferous Blacks are comparing cultural aspects & their experiences in order to then exclude other Blacks because such don't fit their new, imagined criterea)? 🤔 And, Is this seemingly chaotic behavior & thinking being purposely induced by some folk with an agenda or three? 🤔 Go figure, eh? 🤔

Why are you guessing that Serena has a connection to North Africa ? Its an interesting hypothesis. North Africans are mostly mixed with Arab. She is of East African Descent.

What I am specifically guessing are the results we might see from her DNA test, but that doesn't necessarily mean she has that connection in her recent ancestry. These DNA tests are only estimations, and thus give imperfect results, so people will often see readings of certain regions near their known ancestry. In Serena's case, having strong Eastern African ancestry means she will likely see readings of North African or Middle Eastern in her DNA results, even if all of her known ancestry for hundreds of years was only East African. Similar thing with people who are English/Irish/Wales/Scottish ancestry, they will often get Scandinavian readings. Another example is with people who have Native American ancestry, they will often get readings of East Asian.

From the start i was skeptical of whether this video was of any use, but the fact that they didn't even tell you what readings in the tests were classed as black and which didn't many that by the end i think the video you reacted to is a waste of time. The only thing i was expecting that didn't occur was that no one seemed to say the test was wrong, that they couldn't have that low a reading. We are all different shades of black and white, and culture has nothing to do with genetics, or at best is a small part. The only thing i will say about your comments are that at one point you said the guy who had a reading of about 50% black must have one majority white parent, I'm not sure I'm convinced by this, why not both about 50% giving him the 50%. The fact they didn't define what black was (i can only assume African) makes this very hard to even analyse though.

Excellent presentation; however, I'd just like to add a few historical points you didn't cover: 1. Before the one-drop rule was officially codified, some states moved those formerly designated as African to white, dependent upon who owned you and how many black women were raped in the family tree. 2. In some families, multiple black women were raped, which is why in my family we refer to the phenomenon as the multi-generational serial rape of black women. 3. A tiny fraction of white men passed as black men to "marry" their black sweethearts.
