I can’t believe the author just leaves out the fact that he’s clearly 7/16 or 3/8 European. Evidently mixed, not “African-American”.
and you will agree with me @andrew
The former mod here argued that “African-American” implies European ancestry by default. Though in this case iit s exceptionally higher than average., and it’s weird there’s not at least a documented white/european recent ancestor.
It’s just one of main failures of this website, people of colour are labeled as “African-American” and that’s the end of the story,
Another user (of mixed background) noted that such bloodlines often did not happen in a happy way, thus there is not really much interest about it.
Untrue, because if you look into records and documents, you can find interesting stuff.
Andrew, follers is a “former” mod?
She is not active anymore
He doesn’t remotely look like the average african american at all to me he looks very ambiguous and visibly mixed. His dna results make sense and explains it. Very handsome guy btw
Please stop with your stereotypical racism. If you are not Black you would not know. The media stereotypes Africans. Africans Black people come in more than 20 skin tones and hair textures. They are the most diverse continent on earth .
You must be one of the dumbest users on this site LMAO
You should visit Africa if you think africans are the most diverse people in the world and most africanamericans don’t look exactly like Africans in Africa. He doesn’t even look like the average afroamerican
he’s more mixed than normal. He looks like a person from Puerto Rico.
He is not Puerto rican, he is African American end of story. Again there ARE black Africans looking like him all over Africa. Youre literally ignoring his dna test posted right in your face. What is the use arguing the opposite of what he is?
Africans excluding mixed East Africans look absolutely nothing like him. He would never pass as a Nigerian or a Congolese. I don’t see how stating that obvious fact is racist. Nearly half of his ancestry is European
The majority of East Africans are not admixex at all. They are 100 percent. The people speaking of West Eurasian ancestry that would be over 5000 years ago, not of any significance to the East African Subsaharan population today.
You’re going off the Black people you see on tv that’s not accurate for the entire African continent. There are 100 percent Black Africans especially in Somalia, Ethiopia, Eritrea that look just like Quincy who aren’t mixed at all. African Americans come from West Africa , the rest of the 52 countries in Africa you don’t see. Lots of different types of Black people.
East Africans have admixed with West and South Asians for millenia though. You shouldn’t present the population of the East side of the continent, and their phenotypes, as some nebulous magically separation. Phenotype shifts and morph based on region and proximity to near populations. Most African Americans are not descended from East Africans. So Valentina Iglesias was correct, he doesn’t look African American, he looks closer to East African or North African depending on the region. Ethiopia has some of the most admixed populations in the entire African continent.
You should know all this by now, African heritage is your realm of interest.
Horner east Africans are only mixed with west Asian not south Asian. The only people in the eastern African region that have south Asian admixture can mainly be found in islands like Seychelles or Mauritius
No please go onto 23 and Me dna testing. Most modern East Africans are 100 percent indigenous and unmixed. Before scientific dna technology scientists claimed anyone looking g different from the African stereotype as mixed. But no black Africans are the most diverse race on earth. All sorts of looks among black Africans.
Whoever says he looks Puerto Rican is because most Puerto Ricans are half African or more mixed. Puerto Rico is a country and not a race.

“A similar signal of west Eurasian ancestry is present throughout eastern Africa. In particular, we also find evidence for two admixture events in the history of Kenyan, Tanzanian, and Ethiopian populations, the earlier of which involved populations related to west Eurasians and which we date to ∼2,700–3,300 y ago.”
There’s plenty of evidence that East Africans have been swapping DNA with West Asians, for thousands of years, that is just one study, there’s many more. Maybe these admixture events, are so far back, you consider them inconsequential, but I don’t think they’re unimportant.
if in Africa he look like he from somewhere, he could pass for North Africa or East Africa, even countries like Mauritius, Réunion and Seychelles. Maybe even South Africa. He definitely does not look just West African or Central African at all
No I can tell you have never ever visited Africa. He can pass for Northern Nigerian West African Fulani, or Tuareg both sub saharan people’s. He could also pass for being from Mali, Northern Niger or Mauritanian West African.
He posted his Ancestry DNA on his Instagram.

If so he is:
59% Sub-Sarahan African
40% European
1% Native American
Black in the West equals substantial Subsaharan African dna He is Black. Lots of Blacks have these dna percentages. Majority African. Even if you have other dna the African doesn’t go away you’re still recently African
And then there is Brazil and hispanoamerican countries.
He looks unsurprisingly mixed-race. Midori is a (mixed-race) nutcase user from Guyana that was upset when saw actual African people in Paris and goes around arguing about mulattoes being black.
@Andrew youre the only crazy one here. You are obviously a mixed European trying to drag everyone else into your own insecurities. Anyone who looks close to you that claims black scares you because of your desire to be white.
@midori
I’m not mixed and I’m fine with myself. The boy is 40% European and it’s not a big deal looking at him. Get over it.
Kim Porter does look mixed, but has a dark medium complexion. Her mother is clearly very mixed genetically. Kim also has wavy/curly hair naturally, and thinner facial features, due to her mixed ancestry. Quincy is a mix between between his father, and Kim’s mother, phenotypically.
Most American black people (descendants of slaves from the USA)are “mixed.” Kim Porter and her mom are not an exception at all. It is very common.
There is no specific look to being admixed. Stop Stop the silly stereotypes
No one looks mixed as there is no mixed look. To be honest all Blacks in the Americas have been admixed in the past from slavery.
