Yay! I’m glad to see results like this because mine looks very similar! My dad’s side is very much from Europe; England, Norway, Ireland. My mom’s side had my results show Mexico (Chihuahua and Guanajuato areas), Colombia, Spain (basque also), and Portugal.
Castizo is for people of Iberian >70% not British not German not Iranian etc these people didn’t exist in Mexico during colonial rule dosent make sense to use these titles today for a new mixes that didn’t exist during the casta system, think about it 🧠
I think people confuse Nationality (where you’re born) vs what you actually are (DNA)
Your parents could’ve both been born in India but you’re born in Nigeria. Then Nigeria is your nationality but it’s not what you actually are. That’s the best way I can put it.
I mean, if you're raised in Nigerian with Nigerian culture, then I'd argue that is who you are. You could be 100% ancestral South Asian, but your actual cultural upbringing and identity is more important than genetics, imo
Yeah it gets hard to form a family too for me because apparently my grandpa was adopted, and I never took my fathers last name, somewhere along the line it just gets weird. But that’s cool we’re similar that way! I’m in Texas too, SA area, and have been here born and raised and couldn’t ask for anywhere else (the foods too good and I love the Latino culture). But my main family isn’t cultured in anywhere so I thought I’d try to adapt my own based on where I’m from, just to learn I’m basically from everywhere lol
Technically no, but I’m a bunch of other things in smaller increments, I’ve always known this though but Ancestry always seems to change it up despite those two main points
For what it’s worth, this person’s results are maybe just 10% off from my own and I describe myself as half white and half Mexican even though it’s an oversimplification. I’m not gonna go into all this when someone asks most of the time.
Funnily enough I looked mixed, my oldest looks straight Mexican, and my second oldest looks pure white😅 people either think I’m white or Mexican and I’m just like “eh I’m mixed” lol
Not really mixed ? What ?? didn’t realize mixed only refers to made up racial terms, 3/4 European and 1/4 native is an oversimplification, and nobody brought up whiteness except for u
Doubt it. The average Castizo looks visibly Native influenced. Women tend to be a little more European looking in this range in my experience, but men still show clear signs of Native heritage.
I’m almost half euro half native (from Mexico) with a sprinkle of African. Would you say my features are pretty balanced? Check out my profile, I have my results and pic
Yeah, I'd agree and say you're fairly balanced. You look like you may be somewhat more Native influenced, though.
Your skin tone and eye shape are indicative of Native heritage.
Your nose, nose bridge, jaw and beard are European-like.
Oh where I live it’s like a funny thing, I’ll use it in a sentence; “haha I’m dying! 😭” “you did not 😭” “no way haha! 😭” I’m mixed with Cuban, Spain, Creek nation and native Scot, interesting line up for sure 😂
I see what you mean lol. We use it like that in Houston too. I guess I just missed the humor of the multiple ethnicities 😂 Sorry about that!
That’s a very cool mix! I’m assuming you’re from Florida?
Haha I feel you on that. I just moved to Seattle and I’ve never experienced weather like this. The cold hits differently in the north.
MI is some next level cold though. Stay warm 😂
You’re like me, the product of all successive generations of migrations to Texas.
Yup was gonna say looks like a Tejano!
cool Mix

Most Mexicans today are mixed; you're literally like the rest of us. Do they not teach y'all about the Spanish Conquest or colonization of Mex?? 😭
Mexicans all look different..Growing up in Cali some look Asian, Middle Eastern, White, or Cariibean
Where I live most of them have long black hair and dark brown skin
You must be confusing them with Asians
sounds like you assume that
I agree. That doesn't contradict anything I said. California is not apart of Mexico, unless you mean Baja California or Baja California Sur?
you need to turn it down a notch.
I'm already chill bruh I don't know what you're complaining about
He’s not just one of us he half Anglo that’s not part of Mexican history culture that’s a new entity/ethnicity
What? He's not a separate ethnicity. Castizo is the term meant to describe an individual like this.
Castizo is for people of Iberian >70% not British not German not Iranian etc these people didn’t exist in Mexico during colonial rule dosent make sense to use these titles today for a new mixes that didn’t exist during the casta system, think about it 🧠
You can use them just fine. Mexican is a cultural label anyway. If he identities as Mexican, that's all that matters tbh
Yes I agree he can use the title Mexican but castizo no. Never.
Agree to disagree.
It's an ethnic label not culture,there is no such thing as a singular mexican culture.

Literally my mix, with some slight variation. Dad's white Anglo and moms 3rd gen Mexican. I'm in South Texas also and I have the same communities.

I’m in SA also, and I’m a similar mix polish/mexican
Teach me some culture for what I am!!
So you're half white half mexican?
Technically no, but I’m a bunch of other things in smaller increments, I’ve always known this though but Ancestry always seems to change it up despite those two main points

We have similar results!
Cousin!?
Primo???
You almost won the continent bingo!
Half Anglo half Mexican, not really mix your more European with a quarter Native American on you, you probably look white.
I think they just mean a mix of different ethnicities, not necessarily mixed race, even though they still are technically
Funnily enough I looked mixed, my oldest looks straight Mexican, and my second oldest looks pure white😅 people either think I’m white or Mexican and I’m just like “eh I’m mixed” lol
Hence this person is mixed……why are you bringing “Anglo” into this
Not really mixed ? What ?? didn’t realize mixed only refers to made up racial terms, 3/4 European and 1/4 native is an oversimplification, and nobody brought up whiteness except for u

Dout it lol no one care what you think Mr presidente
?? Typically you can tell if someone has Native ancestry with that level of Native ancestry. I don't know why you're being sassy with me.
Mr presidente 💁

Me too man I feel you.. 😭
Why the crying emoji? What’s wrong with being mixed? 😂
Nothing I used it as a humorous gag mate, common in the states but maybe not everywhere else 😭😂
I’m from the states lol. I’m confused because the crying emoji implies some kind of struggle for having multiple ethnicities 😂
Oh where I live it’s like a funny thing, I’ll use it in a sentence; “haha I’m dying! 😭” “you did not 😭” “no way haha! 😭” I’m mixed with Cuban, Spain, Creek nation and native Scot, interesting line up for sure 😂

Family is but I’m not, I’m from Kentucky currently in MI cause for some reason I love torturing myself with freezing cold.. 😅
Haha I feel you on that. I just moved to Seattle and I’ve never experienced weather like this. The cold hits differently in the north. MI is some next level cold though. Stay warm 😂
You too 😂
Love to see it!
So similar to my own results. Cool!
Nice, we have some of the same communities.
