Latinos Get Their DNA Tested

don't tell my wife I'm a white man my parents are both from El Salvador and my mom is from the capital and my dad is from a place called Santa Begler I'm from the Dominican Republic my parents are both Mexican my dad's from Mexico City my mom's from my kukuku Puebla I'm fourth-generation mexican-american I was born in st. Louis Missouri but my parents are both from Columbia I expect this tests to come back 100% Dominican where's my lineage from what's my bloodline like one of my great-grandparents had blue eyes he had a no pile in Atlanta but he got blue eyes I know Mexicans come in all colors shapes and sizes I want to know what's up I think I'm down pretty surprises it to fill line I think it's easy to take a piss test oh I think that one was mixed with like a booger okay we need napkins all my secrets and my ancestors are in this bottle tell me who I am where do I come from today we're getting our 23andme results back and we're gonna find out our DNA makeup I'm a little bit nervous why am i nervous I have no idea what to expect I'm definitely super excited I'm expecting to be mad Dominican yo hi everyone I'm kasha I'm a population geneticist with 23andme and I work on all things ancestry related to talk to you guys about your ancestry results maybe we'll start with ancestry composition you have about half of your DNA looks like it's a Native American whoa you also have a Europeans about 40% but most of that looks like it's coming from Iberia and that's Spain and Portugal Portugal Spain yeah mom and Ashkenazi so that means I'm Jewish yeah way but 1% does that make me like enough no that probably is like a little flash in the pan of sub-saharan African like three and a half percent yeah boom I wasn't expecting to see that did you have an idea no I had no idea that's beautiful so if you look at about Beauty Navy or again a large chunk of that is Iberian so that base Portugal mmm look at that often Aki ah that's that Jewish honey you also have large amount of Native American ancestry looks like about 36% that's so cool I mean it's pretty much in line with what I thought my grandfather was always very proud of our Spanish heritage but I knew there was definitely some indigenous blood on both sides so that's so cool to see it like broken down that way though let's go ahead and take a look at your ancestry composition before Oh through your ancestry 31% Native American also have about half coming from different parts of Europe you've got like 40% southern Europeans about 3% Italian were you expecting that I didn't know you do have yeah so I'm seeing about 3 and 1/2 percent sub-saharan African ancestry which looks like we're clear up that virginity ancestry there we go ancestry reports ok ok so what I'm seeing right now is East Asian a Native American is at seventy four point seven European isn't 19.3 so pretty close to three-quarters Native American pretty quite high Wow but then you also have a little bit of Ashkenazi again 1.1 percent Ashkenazi Jewish ancestry hey this is yeah this is insane like I'm looking at myself and I'm a collage of colors oh how much African I knew that that's why the drums come from the Dominican Republic oh wait time out where's that uh out of 50 put on time oh I'm 53 percent your band 51 please a white girl perfect yeah so I'm like more white my pigmentation is really not located it's controlled by a lot of different genes across your DNA you're not going to show my you to castration example implementation is a family man is pretty cool to be like yo like I'm part of like all over the place thanks alright I'm feeling very happy we're not different all of us were all the same all these components to make up Alessi know at the end of the day deep down inside we all bleed red especially like Latino culture we're very about our like micro identities and that's great but it's so neat to see that we're all so interrelated nice to know that we're part of the world all around us it's nice to know that we're home knowing this information breaks down the borders a little bit for me now we have genetic makeup that's around the world I'm brown and I'm proud
