I was always curious about stuff like that.
But I'm pretty sure it would just say I'm Romanian.
You should take one brother, you might be surprised.
My mom did one and results say she is mix of western slav, balkan, and bit of nordic,
The thing is like 4-5 generations back no one was living anywhere outside Poland/West Ukraine
So the results were surprise

I'm actually considering it. Been wondering about if for a few years now.
I was called german by a lot of people who didn't know I'm romanian.
My grandma from my dad side was saxon so I guess that is where it's from tho

LOL.

Lol. I think I have English ancestry due to my father being the first one to learn English. He learned British English, and me and my siblings know American English. I probably have Italian ancestry because Latin was spoken in Italy, and my maternal grandfather bought a book from Spanish to Latin. Latin gave birth to Spanish, French, Italian, etc. He probably knew that Latin is a powerful language to learn. I am still working on learning a 3rd language, specifically Korean.
If I had Asian ancestry, I would be like "YOOO I have Asian ancestry!" on this forum LOL.
im asian. its seriously not a flex.

My mommy told me that my youngest brother should take a DNA test because [she thinks that] he has more ancestry than any other person in my family.

that's not asian culture.

I took one of those DNA tests. I got like a third Sottish, a third Irish, and the rest was a mix between Scandinavian (Danish, Norwegian etc) and English.
I could have just picked up a history book of the British Isles and saved the money on the DNA test, since my ethnicity is pretty much a history of the islands. The native people (Scottish, Irish) plus the Germanic tribal people that settled later after the fall of the Western Roman Empire (Vikings and Anglo-Saxons).
Don't wish to be something else, embrace who you are. You are the living history of all the people that came before.
Also, it's something about yourself you can't change, and hating yourself is a pitiful existence.

LMFAOOOOOO im asian but not that part of asian?

that didnt make sense but what everrrr

If you are part indigenous american, then you actually do have far asian ancestry as the native peoples in the americas came from Asia across the Bering Strait. Of course we are all inter-related, but the indigenous americans and present day inhabitants of the Asia in countries like China have a higher frequency of genetic traits that point to these peoples being more closely related than other populations. These include hair shaft thickness and even the shape of their incisors. You can plainly see it as well when comparing phenotypical norms honestly.
Yes I understand I am a nerd in more ways than one and love human paleontology.

Idk what to say about you except you're a genius.

The isopoint for European ancestry is around 1,000 AD, so anyone of European ethnicity born before that has living descendants is related to everyone living today that has European ancestry. (For example everyone with any European ancestry living today is related to Emperor Charlemagne since he lived before the isopoint and has living descendants)
Idk what it would be for other ethnicities, but I don't think you have to go back that much farther to find the common isopoint for humanity as a whole. Whereas anyone one born before that point who has living descendants is related to every living human on earth.

Yup, we are all inter related! Still, some populations show closer genetic commonalities than others - this is what ancestry DNA is based upon. Race itself though is a very much human defined. This is really just genetic drift

I have 22% French ancestry according to that DNA test, maybe that's why my father loves French art. Woman with a Parasol - Madame Monet and Her Son by Claude Monet is in my household right now.
-
LOL, his French ancestry is not why he loves French art. I have French ancestry, it does not make me love French art. He loves French art because he finds it aesthetically pleasing.

Yeah, if I remember from biology, a major factor for skin color in humans is an evolutionary adaptation to living in a specific climate/area over many generations. Sun exposure and UV Radion being the main natural selector in this regard.
Sexual selection is a factor as well.

I'm going to reply to myself
But yeah, Wikipedia says "There is a direct correlation between the geographic distribution of ultraviolet radiation (UVR) and the distribution of indigenous skin pigmentation around the world. Areas that receive higher amounts of UVR, generally located closer to the equator, tend to have darker-skinned populations. Areas that are far from the tropics and closer to the poles have lower intensity of UVR, which is reflected in lighter-skinned populations.[4] Some researchers suggest that human populations over the past 50,000 years have changed from dark-skinned to light-skinned and vice versa as they migrated to different UV zones,[5] and that such major changes in pigmentation may have happened in as little as 100 generations (≈2,500 years) through selective sweeps."

None for me. I'm part British and Scottish on both sides.

The continents were obviously arbitrary human notions.
