In the first five minutes of this video, this woman goes on and on about how happy and excited she is because she just got back the results of her mitochondrial DNA test. She took the test because she wanted to find out which African tribe or tribes she is descended from. A person (male or female) inherits Mitochondrial DNA solely from their mother.
After five minutes of joyous anticipation, she finally opens the envelope and looks at the results.
She is absolutely devastated to find out that her mitochondrial DNA is of “non-African lineage.”

There's an objective test for that, called the paper bag test. One was either lighter or darker than the old paper grocery bags. Generally, the ones that could pass the test (were lighter than the bag) considered themselves better than the darker ones.
It's still not clear whether that story is true or not.
If it was true, it was more about people who were nuts enough to send in their sample with comments about how the results better not show that they're part Black -- not necessarily about White people in general or at random.
But like I said, we don't know if the story is true or not.
When Maury Povich, though, tells a White racist that his DNA reveals he's Black it does make you wonder if somebody somewhere in the chain of custody didn't mess with the results.
I too have noticed that a lot of American Indians have an Asian appearance. I watched the girls video regarding her DNA results and was not the least bit surprised at the findings. What I found amazing were the comments on this forum that were doubtful of the results.
So as you and I know, as well as the girl in the video, what we look like tells little about our genetic heritage.

They are the ones you see standing behind the garbage truck saying “c’Momback” There are 3 other tribes of Africa.
“It still is. Look at any number of NFL and NBA players. If you watch college sports you often time see guys who look biracial and when they show the parents it’s always a white woman and Black man. I don’t think white men find too many Black women to be attractive enough to date or marry.”
That is the way it is now and that is also the way it used to be. It was generally thought that the mix started first with slave owner males and slave women and while there was some of that going on afterwards at first it was white females at first then as well.
Yeah thats kinda what I was trying to say only you said it better. I think this type of thinking may be part of the root of why blacks say they are discriminated against because of their skin color, because they do it themselves they think white people do it also.
She found out she is a Jedi.
