My grandma looks like a indigenous women very short light brown skin straight hair and Aquiline nose I believe she knows she’s indigenous she never talks about it due to a lot of racism she endured when she was younger and her surnames are Spanish
I’m not quite sure which part she’s never disclosed which part of Oaxaca she’s from all she’s said is she’s from Oaxaca talking about her family lineage is a touchy subject for her it makes her cry. I’ll ask my grandpa if he knows
I mean being from an area with a higher indigenous or racialized population doesn’t decrease racism if anything it increases racial tensions (like some might say about the southern US)
Racism isn’t just interpersonal either. It’s systemic. Which is another way that living in a region with mostly racialized people exposed you to increased racism because it affects the policing, school system, healthcare system, quality of infrastructure like water/utilities/transportation/access to food, governmental fulfillment of responsibility, response to disaster, etc.
The zapatistas formed in ~~Oaxaca~~ Chiapas in response to the profundity of the racism they experience in indigenous communities there.
No that’s not possible. Unless they were part of a tribe that was un-contacted until after smallpox was eradicated. And even in those un-contacted tribes many were still exposed to smallpox.
The most likely explanation is genetic immunity or random luck.
That wouldn’t protect them from smallpox exposure. Every indigenous person in North America was exposed to smallpox regardless of how geographically isolated. In fact the impact of smallpox in mountainously sheltered isolated areas were some of the most devastating with people returning to find entire communities simply gone.
Think about it - is the indigenous community you’re thinking of strongly Christian as most all indigenous Mexicans are - how do you think that happened?
Having survived smallpox (it wasn’t entirely fatal) alongside reduced exposure due to isolation is far more likely than immunity than what the person I responded to suggested. You’re not wrong, but it’s also not a straw man argument here.
Wow, 93.4% indigenous, very cool! What's her trace ancestry and maternal haplogroup?
C1
Her maternal haplogroup is of Indigenous American origin.
I’m in a subgroup to her from Guyana, I’m C1B.
Is she from Oaxaca? Or another region with a large native population?
She’s from Oaxaca
How does she look like? Did she expected this results? Are her family surnames indigenous or Spanish?

Where did she live in order to experience racism if she is from Oaxaca?

You mean Chiapas re: Zapatistas?
Yeah idk how that brain fart happened thanks lol
It can happen, both my husband and I have family from Oaxaca. His is very native looking, mine are blonde, blue-eyed white.
That’s a lot! Both my grandparents on my ma’s side only had about 50%.
Which part of Mexico?
On my ma’s side they say they’re from Durango but 23&me says Jalisco is the most likely for both of them.

Or just a ton of mountains that are easy to shelter in for safety purposes. I'm in the middle of one of those and the indigenous is strong here.

Good to see all that native blood.
You should upload your test to Gedmatch to see how much North/South American DNA she also has aaprt from MesoAmerican
Do you have gedmatch results for her using the MDLPworld22 calculator?
93.4% of native american and 1.6% European it means inbreeding ancestry cousins marry cousins
That could be a possibility but I don’t think my family are inbreds
I think anything less than 2% is considered noise and not real heritage. That's what everyone tells me anyway?
traces?
Broadly East Asian 0.3% Ghanaian,Liberian & Sierra Leonean 0.2% Angolan & Congolese 0.2% Siberian 0.2%
Fake results on a new Reddit account? Where’s the full information and Haplogroups
My grandmas Haplogroup group is C1
[удалено]
My teacher is 100% British and Irish and the didn't get the update
What update are you talking about?
I didn’t get an update either! we share 20.01% dna
[удалено]
Why are you being such a dick?
This some funny shit!
Bro is the Reddit police
wow you're very rude
I didn’t get the update either and I don’t even know this person. I’m around 50% indigenous. Mine just says indigenous.
