I think these "mixed" populations are kind of an artifact of where you decided to draw the lines between races. Perhaps a more sociologically useful definition would be to say that races, while fundamentally genetic, are defined by culture. Thus, a population that is a distinct group (including if it's the majority) is by definition a race, and thus not mixed race. Basically, "mixed race" is what happens when the race boundaries that a culture sets up are broken. I'm not really sure how this fits into continuum racism like "colorism", though. I think it doesn't. The whole idea of "mixed" race implies that there is such a thing as non-"mixed" race. That requires there to be hard boundaries, unless there's some kind of continuum between "more mixed" and "less mixed".

[@maxis2k]

I think the whole mixed race thing is based on subjective links to nations, regions and cultures. Not really ethnicity at all. Because as the video said, you could say everyone is mixed race if you go back far enough. These days, we consider people of ancestry coming from the British Isles to be one of the most homogenized in the world. But in reality, they're one of the most mixed, as they were mixed in with the French, Celtic, Norse, Dutch, Germans, Spanish, Russians, Indians, Africans, Middle Eastern and pretty much every group outside of East Asia. You just need to go back more than a few generations to find it. But again, notice how almost every label I just used was based on a regional or national identity. That's not really a good basis for grouping people together. At best, it's confusing since a group like "Brazilian" or "South American" is not one homogenized group. It's as big of a melting pot as the USA or UK. The point I'm trying to make with all this is, I feel like ethnicity is kind of a pointless distinction these days. I know in many parts of the world it's still a big deal. Heck, it's becoming a big deal again in the USA with some people. But I just choose not to be one of those people.

As a tiny bit of that society, I usually view people with a multicultural lens anyway.

[@andres6868]

to say that everyone is mixed as some do, might be true in a very long term, but it confuses the issue. Some populations have been quite isolated through centuries if not millenia from intercourse with other populations so that they have developed their own phenotype characteristics. You can call them ethnicities if you do not like the word race. For instance, there is no believable offspring between Native Americans and people of other parts of the world between around 10,000 BC and 1492.

[@lusciouslocks8790]

I understand what you’re saying but the example you gave is a tad misleading. There was admixture in Arctic America between those dates with Inuit and Aleutian groups coming from far northeast Asia, and there was regular contact across the Bering Strait with Inuit-Aleutian and northeast Asian groups for quite some time. Admittedly this didn’t have a noticeable effect outside the far North in both North America and Asia, but there was still a tiny bit of contact and the Greenlandic Inuit DNA mixture shown in the video attests to that. You are right though, it’s very unlikely you’d find someone in 1300s Peru with any ancestors who migrated to the Americas from before 10,000 BC.

Finland language is an unknown origin. Its not germanic like all of northern europe. Finland actually closest tries to Japanese language. Thats what i've heard. Funny thing is there is also a conspiracy theory that japanese were doing illegal Whaling near Finland and had to cover up their activity by creating a language unknown to those in the region. Doesnt make any sense to me. Also a conspiracy tying to the finnish language is that Finland doesnt actually exist but is instead just part of sweden.

@@Tomas-ml9nv Race is a vastly outdated concept that dates back to late 17th century theories on how to divide and categorise humanity. In those times, people mostly focused on visual (and social) differences rather than actual meaningful differences in genes. Race, insofar it divides humans along the lines of "black" and "white", is largely no more than a construct. It makes absolutely no sense to group West African ethnicities and Australoid Aboriginals together as "black", even though they are completely different ethnicities with different genes, different history, different culture and an altogether separate identity. They share nothing but their skin colour. The only correct way of distinguishing between peoples is ethnicity. So genes, but also culture. Anything that goes beyond the genes is not founded in science and therefore nothing other than a social construct made up to divide humanity along certain lines. It's not in line with reality insofar it isn't based on scientific knowledge on genes. In short: the common usage of "race" is vastly outdated and way more complex and nuanced than just "white"/"black" or European/African/etc.

The Chinese "dialects" are a lot more divergent than a lot of the other linguistic classifications mentioned - like, a Syrian and a Moroccan might have a bit of trouble conversing, but some Chinese dialects are full on mutually unintelligible.

It’s a dialectal continuum for the most part so Southwestern Mandarin is more intelligible with New Xiang than it is to Northeastern Mandarin and Hakka spoken in Guangdong is more phonologically similar to Yue than the other Hakka varieties which are closer to Gan.

@@haruzanfuucha Yes, but that kind of situation is more comparable to, say, the historical Romance language family, than to the Arabic dialects. Less so in modern times, as national languages have become the norm, but a few centuries ago, when different European countries had more internal linguistic diversity, you'd see more of a continuum moving from Italy into France, France into Spain, and Spain into Portugal. Most acknowledge these as different "Romance Languages", rather than "Romance Dialects", despite there having historically been a continuum between them. The old saying 'A language is a dialect with an army and a navy" seems relevant here.

Turks have been in Asia, Caucasus, Anatolia and Europe for thousands of years. As the Turks are spread over a wide area depending on geography and climate, there are blonde and colourful eyes among them, as well as brunettes. Prof.Dr. Laszlo Rasonyi (Hungarian Turcologist): "Turkishness is connected to the Europid/Caucasoid race within three major racial families (Europid , Mongolid, Negrid). In the northern part of the Europid group, there are Teuto -Nordicus, Dalo-Nordicus and Eastern Baltic breeds with light hair and light skin (low pigment); in the middle, in the Central Asian section, brown Alpine, Dinarid and TURANID breeds; in the southern section, there are Mediterranen, Taurid and Indid breeds with dark hair, dark skin and black eyes. William Montgomery McGovern (Northwestern Univ. prof. anthropologist and journalist),The early empires of Cental Asia, 1939 : “The hair of Turks is wavy unlike the hair of Mongols, and the Turks are not as splayed-faced as the Mongols. The race of Turks belongs to a race that anthropologists call ‘Turani’.” Lajos Bartucz, A Magyar Ember Bp.1938. 414-417 “In terms of propagation, the Turanid race can compete with all other races. Starting in Siberia, it is introduced into Central Europe, surpassing Russia, and even as far as France. We can find this race more or less everywhere, starting from the north to India, Iran and the Balkans. Among the ancient Huns, Avars, Bulgarians, Uyghurs, Hungarians, Pechenegs, Kumans, and various other Turkic-Tatar tribes who participated later, the largest population was the people of the Turanid race, both in number and effectiveness.

TL;DR: As an ethnically ambiguous eurafrasian latino, people associate me at first glance with people they relate most with due to the aura they get. Mostly I get central America, North Africa, or south American. Hello. I'm a latino of European (German+Italian+Welsh= 52%) African (Maasai+Nigerian+Sierra Leone=40%)&Caribbean/South American(Barbadian+Peruvian=8%) with fair skin, wavy hair, and ambiguous features. The percentages come from the recent ancestry stats of my DNA test. Looking at the %ancestry chart, my percentage most closely resembles Brazilian Pardo, (55% Euro, 25% African, 15% Indigenous, 5% MENA), with more African. I'm sitting in holding with other multiethnic people when a woman I chat up identifying as Sephardic Sicilian singles me out as "one of her people." I believe it wasn't appearance but that I knew of the centuries of discrimination Sicilians faced at the hands of Italians. Most Latino strangers speak to me in Spanish. Most African Americans think I'm other, North African, or mixed African American. Recently when I told some AA I'm 25% Nigerian, they said, "no you don't look African American - you look Egyptian, or Madagascan." Earlier in that group I explained that appearance is not always an indicator of ethnicity, when one guy eavesdropping identified as a Dominican Republic Afro Latino. He told us because he appears mostly African American, he'd overhear fairer Latinos talk about him in Spanish and delightfully shock them in his colorfully fast Spanish. I envy that guy. Then you have my friend I met in uni as, after a pickup basketball game, I asked them where he's from, and he answers in a Spanish accent, "I'm from Puerto Rico." t turns out he was born in Puerto Rico to two ethnically Indian (South Asian) parents who relocated to PR for post graduate work. Until recently he always thought I was "black" or Afro-Latino, which informs the culture he grew up in and the people he felt closest to in his home country. An African American girl was surprised to learn I am not black - then guessed I am Ethiopian. This says something about the culture she's used to being around. Because then I am mistaken for Egyptian by an Iraqi woman and Ethiopian by a Georgian (W. Asia) Israeli lady in the same day. Iranian by Iranians, and a Fijan asked me if I was Fijan. I get Guatemalan from Central Americans the most, and a couple Mexicans mistook me for Belizean. An Ecuadorian mistook me for middle eastern, while a Turkish girl guessed Middle Eastern. I think that - in my case - when you look ethnically ambiguous or ethnically fluid, strangers in the US- are more open to accepting the ethnicity you identify as. In my case, foreigners in the US - usually assume me to have the nationality of a person they relate most with, of whom I most resemble to them.

[@LadyCatFelineTheSeventh]

I don't think this necessarily took off "after the 1960's". That's when I was born (1/4 Native American, rest european) and I ran into a lot of kids growing up who were 1/4 something. That means their parents were already roughly 1/2 more or less from the 1930s and 1940s. My family started mixing in the mid 1800s - we can actually document thanks to records kept at the time. So it was a lot more complicated than one person married another. it was their kids marrying others who were 1/2 or 3/4 or all then their kids doing the same. Basically, the idea of 1/2 and 1/4 or whatever is never a straight "1/2" or "1/4" but the forms we fill out use that. Can't blame them, no point going into absolute detail unless you're a geneologist, lol.

[@kindnessfirst9670]

Before people can be classified as mixed race you have to decide what you mean by race. Do you start with 3 races, 10, 100? People disagree on how many races there are, what to call them and who belongs in which race category. There is no test for a person's race. You are to another person whatever that other person thinks you are. Winston Churchill believe the Irish and English were two different races but most people today would think that's silly.

[@douche8980]

I only see the 2 primary races being Sub Saharan Africa and Eurasian (including Australian Aboriginal and Native American). Everything outside that is just varying phenotype and genotype that has no clear boundary from 1 to another aside from the labels various cultures will give them.

[@kindnessfirst9670]

@@douche8980 The labels cultures give them is all race actually is. Science has found that there is greater genetic variety within each so called "race" than there is between "races".

@@kindnessfirst9670 I wanted to fully understand the larger human family tree. Is it true that All Eurasians share a closer common ancestors than do the common ancestors either between all of us and the common ancestors of all indigenous African groups on addition to the common ancestor all humans share OR is there too much overlap to even drawn any connection to certain people groups beyond the scope of all of us being human?

A quarter something other than the main continent in you is mixed. You don't have to put mixed box if you don't wanna but definitely mixed. I just hate when ppl blk (I only say blk as a basic social construct meaning light skin or darker btw), claim being African American when they 25-50% European or something other than African but will say not mixed because it's cool saying the n word and being from a slave even though everyone had slaves and went through slavery. I say blk as a shade but I always even checked the box blk meaning shade and not African American, but I'm definitely having my kids put mixed because I'm mixed by most ppl rules and the social construct are goofy

[@lokkomotive8153]

@@DoubleBeezy being 25% mixed is only mixed if you APPEAR mixed. Mixed RACE means that your phenotype is mixed. If your phenotype is not mixed even if you are 50/50 somehow then you are not biracial. The problem is America literally calls ethnicities of black American and white American races.

[@DoubleBeezy]

@@lokkomotive8153well we still have a one drop system in America, so I’m sure I look mixed outside the USA in places that never used the 1 drop rule and in America I look obviously just blk😂. I have cousins 25% African marked as blk and considered just yt passing and my cousins and mom who 60/40 blk/yt are just blk but LIGHTSKIN in America. When I was looking into race in America, we also did generational mixed but yt ppl made the rule, anything with obvious blk in them is blk. I found other places consider the cutoff 25% of admixture vs being mixed race. I tried telling other ppl but they gaslight me and say blk Americans up to 30% and even half yt from slavery when actually ppl who would’ve still been marked as mulatto was changed to blk. The last important thing is mulatto was removed for the 1 drop rule, but both political parties and Americans overall ignore that part and bring up it meaning mule, but literally any word could’ve been used as a bad word during that time period. Mulatto means simply blk/yt and is the most accurate term for ppl not directly from a yt and blk parent. I seen this old lady get mad at a guy for identifying as mulatto and she talking about DO U KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS, and she said it’s disrespectful😂. But without it, YOU LITERALLY ARE STUCK WITH BLK AND YT, AND OF COURSE BLK IS GONNA BE THE BOX U IN(see the hypocrisy). SO TO SUM UP MY RANT, EVERYONE IN AMERICA PHENOTYPE IS BLK REGARDLESS IF MIXED WITH ANY OBVIOUS BLK IN YOU😂
