I am assuming mixed-race children in those days were all the product of rape, or is that wrong? From what I read, almost all the white ancestors of African-Americans were male, so I am wondering who these white ancestors were. Were they the wealthy men that owned African slaves, or were they from the other poorer white men that worked on plantations or as household staff?
When I need filler/background music I usually queue up European retro dance/pop/disco music from the 1980s-1990s on youtube. One thing I notice is that European performers of Sub-Saharan African ancestry are particularly well-represented: Kano, 2 Unlimited, Culture Beat, and Snap! are all examples of musical acts from various European countries that include performers of Sub-Saharan African ancestry.
Is this industry a relative anomaly in Europe in terms of the representation of people of Sub-Saharan African ancestry? I remember catching a European Football tournament a while back in which someone commented on how many people were surprised that there were a few players of Sub-Saharan African ancestry (such as a black Italian footballer), since they had imagined Europeans as predominantly "white" in terms of racial makeup.
Are people of Sub-Saharan African ancestry generally well-represented in Europe outside of the music industry, such as in sports or other forms of entertainment? Are people of Sub-Saharan African ancestry also well-represented outside of entertainment in European countries?
I’m an African American yet to be tested but I know for sure I have at least 10 percent European, I want to see your opinion on this predicament?
I have noticed that many Greeks and Southern Italians have varying amounts of West Asian ancestry in their 23andMe results. Furthermore, it is said that the Spanish and Portuguese category hides a small amount of North African ancestry. Considering the fact that many peoples sailed throughout the Mediterranean Sea throughout history, I doubt the flow of genetic ancestry was exclusively from West Asia and North Africa to Southern Europe and never vice versa.
Hey I am a master student at Utrecht University (Netherlands) and I am (desperately) looking for Female participants living in the Netherlands (close to Utrecht)! Depending on how far you live from location you will make 18 to 30€ in 1.3h!!
It's a partly online (questionnaire + online task), partly on-site (at the Uithof in Utrecht) behavioral research study on face categorization and your sense of smell! *
* We are of course strictly following the guidelines of the RIVM/government (one-on-one testing at 1.5m distance throughout, replacing/disinfecting materials, health checks before testing etc.)! All our protocols are strictly following these guidelines and were approved by the university!
Please follow the link below to complete the screening (~2min) and (if you pass the screening), the 30-minute online experiment.

It just seems a bit weird to me, as a European European (lol). It makes it sound like "American" means "white", and everybody else needs a prefix.
A lot of times, people describe Jesus as a White man and depending on where they are preaching, they will show him according to how locals are seen. Was Muhammad a White Man in the same way that Jesus is often portrayed in the West? or was he of darker complexion in the same way that many Arabs in the Gulf and did he possibly have any African Ancestry?
I keep seeing people with predominately European ancestry lamenting over the fact they are European. Why are there so many of these posts here - what's with the self-loathing? Why not be happy with who you are?
Is it because genes get diluted somehow? Maybe it’s so far back that we can’t read it? IDK tbh doesn’t apply to just Europeans to be clear.
