(25,154 posts)Have Euro DNA.
Very few have SSA DNA. Sone have 1% due to out of Africa. I have 0 African DNA. I have about .5% NA, but it is probably due to ancient DNA, not due to family relations with NA.
I tested my mine because I'm half Armenian, but look European. I get teased about it. My Mid East DNA is 47%.
My mom is 100% Scotts Irish from the South. I found they owned slaves.
Most white southerners do not have African American DNA. Most African Anericans have at least 10% white DNA. That is because offspring with slave owners were considered black or mulatto. They were assimulated within the AA community, not the other way around.
Sure, there are exceptions and some of mixed race were raised white, or they escaped ans assimulated in the white community.
I don't think your co-workers are worried about AA or NA DNA. They are probably convinced that their DNA is "boring".
I wouldn't have tested if I wasn't half Armenian.
