Your family could embrace some Celtic heritage then 😂
It’s always funny to me when someone mentions to me that they’re not white because they’re actually that random 5% that showed up in their DNA test.
Maybe us Southern Europeans are just used to have random percentages of DNA that we don’t consider our identity.
Through my Bulgarian side of the family I’m 13% Central Asian.
So yeah I’m not going to claim some Turkic ancestry from the 7th century expansion.
To me this just means that Americans are barely mixed despite being a country of immigrants, even if legal segregation doesn’t happen anymore Americans of different races don’t date outside their racial group.
If Americans were actually melting pot they wouldn’t pay that much attention to small percentages of random ethnicities.

Genetics do play a role and trying to pretend otherwise is disingenuous. I am visually not white, even if I don’t have a connection to my Andean heritage my looks are still impacted by them.
If someone asks me why I look like I do what do you expect me to tell them?
