Question

Are African Americans curious about their possible/probable European bloodlines?

Answer 1

Looking at my relatives, I have no doubt. However, it would be interesting to find out to what percentage it would be.

Answer 2

hmm that's a good question. It would be interesting to find out.

Answer 3

Yes, they are. African culture is probably the least interesting and least studied in the world. And I mean indigenous African countries with ******* populations. Everybody's fascinated with Europe and East Asia because of their advanced societies.

Answer 4

that's a good question it would be interesting to find out

Answer 5

Judging by some of the comments I read on Afrocentric chat boards, a lot of them seem to despise their European ancestry and try to pretend it doesn't exist. The average black American is about 22% European, and 3% native American.

I think the lack of African Americans chasing down European ancestors and looking for their African tribe of origin would suggest that they aren't interested in their European ancestry too.

As someone who studies DNA distribution in populations, I can't say I blame them. Europeans are all so closely related it's boring. African tribes are way more interesting.
