The surprise to European numbers being high is very funny. Spain is in Europe. They dont speak Spanish by accident.

[CocoCat]

As a Latina I was so embarrassed watching this 😭 WHY ARE YOU SURPRISED THAT YOU HAVE EUROPEAN, NATIVE AMERICAN, AND AFRICAN ANCESTRY?? When that guy said, "I expect to see 100% Dominican, " my eyes rolled so far back I saw my brain.

[isabellamacdonald]

I wonder if people are aware that Spain is in Europe some times....😂

[e.s.]

I remember seeing a Mexican guy on TikTok guess his ancestry results. He guessed that he was a mestizo (half white/half native) but then his results came back and it was 98% Spanish and 2% Middle East😂 I just thought it was hilarious that he thought he was mestizo when he straight up looked like this:👱🏻‍♂️

Do latinos realise that it's not an ethnicity/race. It's a cultural term. Some latinos are just only white, some are black, some are mixed with native etc. For example, Lele Pons is white lol. She most likely only have European ancestry.😂

Curly kills me 😂😂

Why Latinos always be surprised they European? like bruh did y'all miss history class?

[el_towers]

Latinos are a mix of parts from all over the world. I am Mexican and took this DNA test which showed the following: 50% Europe, 10% African, and 40% Indigenous Americas (Mexico). Point of the story, Latinos are one of the most diverse ethnic groups in the planet.

[cougar]

It's actually quite rare to be 100% something😂 think about how much all your ancestors have traveled and shit

[FBI-ufjz]

Dont they know about the spanish and portuguese colonization of south america?

[valerie]

It's kinda funny to see this american latinos be surprised with their results. I guess it makes sense since they probably never had a chance to learn about latin america's past at their gringo schools but it totally makes sense that they're all half european. The main majority of latinos are mestizo/criollo (mixed) because our land was colonized by Spain. We are the sons of native women and spanish men, as they explain it in some history books. I would recommend they read some books about their upbringing.

From Guatemala here my results-
Native American: 73%
Broadly East Asian and Native American: 2.5%
Spanish and Portuguese: 9%
Broadly southern European: 3%
Sub Saharan African: 5%

Unassigned: 6.3%

"Im brown and im proud" Noberto "your'e jewish honey" Curly

So hilarious XD

[jessicas]

curly:"so he's a white girl" 😂😂😂

[littlemouse]

Lol what’s that mean?..
-It means you’re Jewish honey. 😂

[Meathead.]

Basically Latinos are European, sub Saharan African, and Native American. The mix of the three depends on what part of Latin America your from.

[pcsout]

I've always wanted to do this. Latinos are literally from all over the world it's amazing.
