What is your nationality and what stereotypes do you believe are true or false?

Yeah. I did a dna test and supposedly have no Native American in me. European and Irish. I wonder if I’m black Irish? It’s driving me silly. My dad, sister and I all look Native American and white.

My Native American stereotype: I don’t say a blessing over my deer before I eat it

Another American stereotype is that we hate Arabs and Muslims. Not true.

I have a little Dakota in me but I’d like to do a 23andme test to see what else is coursing through my veins. I know the Norwegian, Finn, Swede, and Irish markers are going to light up but I’m just curious to know what else.

I bet they’d just send a postcard with a picture of a Heinz-57 bottle.

According to my 23andme.com results I’m 99.9% European and .1% unassigned. What I can’t figure out is where do my sister, dad and I get our Native American features from?

Hmm. I definitely see the NA heritage in you and your dad from pics you’ve shared before. I wonder if there was a lab error somewhere.

Wait a second did you do both the paternal and maternal test?

I really don’t know. I’ve heard that some Irish people have dark hair and eyes. So it may be that and our family is wrong about it.

I have no idea whether it was maternal/paternal. I just did the test that my daughter got me for Xmas where you spit in a tube and send it off.

That’s true, @Loke When the Spanish Armada arrived on the shores of Ireland in 1588, the crews were “quite friendly” with the native Irish women. As a result, there are some people in Ireland today with dark hair and eyes. Some people refer to them (affectionately) as “Irish Spaniels” due to their dark brown eyes.

Of course, the vast majority of Irish people have brown hair and blue eyes.
