I love/hate that Americans need to be in a box. When people ask me what i "am" I just say American. I can run down the general results and say, well, I'm third generation Irish and Swedish, fourth generation Czech, 4th generation Jewish, 5th generation Norwegian and also a descendant of the jurors of the Salem witch trial. But, I've probably lost whoever asked tht question after the second "thing" I am.
My uncle got his DNA results the other day, and his results are:
65% European
25% Native American
10% Sub Saharan African
Would you consider him European, Native American or African?
Please vote above.
It depends how he was raised and how he sees himself: in spite of only having 10% African, he still could “ feel” more black if that the culture he was raised in.
His 25% Indian is probably enough to assign him to a particular tribe if the names are on “the roll”
So the poll is in a way inappropriate: we can’t call him anything- it matters only how he sees himself- ask him what ancestry he thinks he is.
