I'm just wondering. Some say I look like a horner others say I look various types of asian south asian or other mixes... What if my mom was fully black looking and my dad was too but my mom was my only legal parent therefore my fatherhood could be anything would I be seen as black or mixed?

I have always been asked and guessed like I wasn't AA. But is this just rude stereotypes or do I look full aa or mixed?

could I pass for full? Hypothetically?

Most African Americans are not genetically 100% African. On the TV show Who Do You Think You Are, a DNA test came back 86% African for one of the black celebrities on the show and the woman from the testing facilities said that was one of the highest percentages she'd ever seen. So even if both your mother and father are black, it's unlikely they themselves are 100% African American. Somewhere along the way, you will have DNA from non-Africans.

If you're asking what your father's heritage might be because you don't know him, I can't tell you that. You need to either find your father or take an autosomal DNA test which will give you a percentage break down of your genetic heritage.

if I said that the woman in the second to last photo and man in the last photo and the others were my family would that seem likely or not?
