it is a new series made by the controversial(for many members here, mostly the DRs)Henry Louis Gates Jr, where he will be interviewing many celebrities about their roots, who will watch it? |

I know my root. I speak my ancestral tongue, practice shamanism, wear my traditional attires, know my history.... I dont claim any other culture.
For example, if I was german and I claimed aryan... I find that hilarious simply because how can you claim an ethnic group that you obviously have no tie to. My ethnic identity is more important then my race. Lol |

It just makes me think they should have used DR MCDONALD to REINTERPRET these 23andMe results for this series. Joint is gonna be MAD off for Native admixed ppl and they're going to be OVER-EUROPEANIZING the mixed participants' scores. |

Yup, Don Cheadle and Chris Rock are ~86-88% SSA, Henry Louis Gates is more like 60/40 than 50/50, and Whoopi Golderg and Oprah are damn near pure! Why dont u guys trust the testing? |

Well I saw this about a week ago now...i believe 23 and Me and the the Broad Institute were being interviewed. I didn't know he was so controversial...So now I have a reason to re-watch with skepticism. |

He isn't he just upset a lot of Dominicans (especially the ones on this forum) with his coverage of the DR during his Black in "Latin" America series. |

I might watch it, he should check out a couple of Dominican scores, maybe that way he'll become a bit less ignorant towards us. |
