How am I'm i part Polynesian how many generation ago is that i a Black American with some rumor of Seminole and Cherokee in my fathers background.
My last test said 8 percent east Asian is that similar to Polynesian or American Indian.
I thought Asian would show up because in the 50s and 60s people would call my mother Asian racial slurs like **** and black Jap growing up i was also teased by kids because i looked part East Asian



so am i really part Polynesian or Native American or Finish should i ignore those results
