There is a DNA test you can have done which tells you what percentage of what race you have in you - I won't give the name of the company I sent my test to but they are a reputable place. I received the results last week but I have been too shocked to tell anyone, even my own family but have to write this down or I'll burst:
48% African
26% Asian
13% Native American
13% Caucasian
How on earth is it possible to be only 13% white when I have skin like Lily Munster and in my youth had red hair? My parents look white and even though I never met by mother's mother, I believe she looked Caucasian too. My other three grandparents had either blond hair in their youth or sandy-coloured.
Do you believe the company made a mistake? Should I get a second opinion? My husband's family are very traditional Australians - in other words, they grew up under the White Australia policy and have no complaints. My father n' law also said he'll be voting for Pauline Hanson if she runs in the next election, so you get the idea. I've never really discussed my husband's view on race other than him telling me in our dating years that he is not attracted to non-whites. He also doesn't like immigrants to this country, illegal or no. He accepts our daughter marrying a Japanese man but told me: "It's not me who has to sleep with him so what do I care?" If he divorces me over this I'll be shattered...
I'd like to kiss ya but I just washed my hair...bah
