Officially its 2.7% of the country. But in my unscientific estimation in genetic reality, the real number would be at least 30% of the country. Whats your opinion on this.

[JonnTEN]

I think it is more. Most of the African American population has some degree of admixture. The Latin population is mixed by its very nature. And even White Americans have quite a bit of mixture too. I laugh when I see Whites with Amerindian faces, because I know they don't even notice it. It is a matter of time they start to recognize it.

[Adeniinteme]

It's not surprising that a significant extent of mixing may have taken place within the European community. Mixed race people always seem to die out into one side or the other of their ancestry, it must have happened a good few times in Americas history.

Finns, Turks and Native Americans.

[Switiespils]

Finns, Turks and Native Americans.

And Slavs, too. While we are at it, let's also include all of those suspicious looking Björkoids from Scandinavia as well...

[durootrium]

If we add the Moors probably comming from the South. We can easily conclude that Europe has always been a wogland.

[smazibummigue]

Depends what is multiracial to you. I consider Europeans intermarrying with South Asians multiracial even though they are both mainly Caucasoids.

The best way to check statistics is to go to the Mall. I am sure you will see more than 2.7%. Whether it is 30% is arguable. I think more study is needed. In Australia it would be hard to gather statistics as people are not listed according to race on birth, marriage or death certificates and on most other documents.

I don't know Kyte. In Hawaii there must be many Hawaiians of mixed ancestry who intermarry other mixed ancestry people but whose mixed are not identical. For European/East Asian hybrids, yes, they will most probably meld back into the European racial group. In Australia, the mixed Aborigines/Europeans more often tended to form a hybrid group, mixing with other mixed Aborigine/European but some have gone back to the ancestral groups.

Of the groups, the Moors seem to be less Woggish than East Asians which is implied in the case of Finns, Turks, Slavs and the Bjorkoids. At least the Moors are mostly Caucasoid.

There is also a heavy distinction based off region and migrations.

Didn't your genetic study found Amerindian and African DNA?

Why are you claiming your ethnicity as "European-American"?

[skupaemauto]

Officially its 2.7% of the country. But in my unscientific estimation in genetic reality, the real number would be at least 30% of the country. Whats your opinion on this.

The low official number is just people who self identified as two or more races.

So rough guessing...
About a third of the whites have some admixture, so ~24% of the total U.S. population. Around 60% or more of Blacks show admixture (probably more, going by memory), which would be around 7% of the U.S. population. Add the 15%+ Hispanic/Latino (which of course some are a single race, but for simplicity I am counting them all as mixed). The 2.7% who count themselves as mixed already.
Let's see 24+7+15+2.7= About half of the population is mixed to a certain degree or another, add in my lousy math skills and not taking time to carefully look at the numbers and I'd say that well over 50% are multiracial. What they self identify as is a whole other story.

Don't worry it isn't from the United States where my mixture comes from.

Why are you claiming your ethnicity as "European-American"? My ethnicity says Pennsylvanian. My meta-ethnicity says European-American, and I had put that there before I took the test, although it doesn't change much anyway.

Are you ashamed of being African-American too?

[space-on-s]

The same as Brazil.

[SantaGanstag]

The same as Brazil.

Brazil is all mixed, with the exception of small "European" people lost in farms in the South. But even there, they are marrying other groups or moving to cities and being assimilated.

The world is mixed. Wasn't Europe settled by different waves of African-descendants? YES, it was

[Mearticbaibre]

Anyway here are results for "White-Americans" on 23andme. Even if they have a mixed ancestor further down the line, it is pretty meaningless in terms of calling them "multi-racial" if they come out as 100% on 23andme in my opinion.

- 18 people are 100% European
- >99% European

I think the African American numbers are probably closer to 10 percent. If he means in the genetic sense,then I agree 50 percent plus. This should also include people anywhere. Europe,Asia or Africa. If they drift away from the major races on genetic sheets then they equal multiracial. I also agree about the self identification part.

Here is a study don't on some white and black Americans.

If an "White American" is in this world thanks to an Ancient ancient Amerindian woman, it is Amerindian too. It doesn't matter there is no genetical evidence of the fact. Period.

The claim of purity of gringos really sucks. These guys are more ridiculous than Argentineans.

Or those Poles or Swedish people that claim pure aryan race.

There is a big difference in claiming somebody as "pure", and labeling somebody as not being "multiracial".

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiracial

or also may refer to the origin of more generationally distant genetic admixtures of more than one race in a person's DNA. For many, even if they do have distant ancestors of another race, it is far from evident.

.

Fellow, what's the difference? A "white" with a single black gene is multiracial by definition. Even more, it only need a black ancestor among a thousand to be multiracial. Now, the level of admixture between whites and Amerindians in the Americans were an order of magnitude greater than between whites and blacks. So, it is not surprising than 30% of the White Americas have one, two or several Amerindian ancestors in theirs family tree.

If they don't look like chiapans, that doesn't make the fact they aren't "pure" Europeans either.
