Everyone in the world is mixed, but black people have it more than anyone (more genetic variation, which is always a good thing).

@ebeledi Louis parents are both extremely white looking. His shade is misleading. but yeah they are testing people with KNOWN recent white ancestors like grand parents. I want to see people who you don't suspect. Also why are whites acting like they aren't mixed. They found out James watson, Adolf hitler, and Larry david had over 16% mixed ancestry. James was 84% white and Larry was only 63% white!

Mr. Gates' work is skewed. As those of you whom are educated in DNA sampling, or with conducting statistics, are aware: it is totally impossible to be 100% accurate, due to homogeneity, rater bias, etc. Gates, does not have access to the DNA of every African or Native American tribe (some extinct). Thus, it is impossible to identify their DNA within his subjects. But, since he has probably 98% access to white DNA, the results will always be skewed in favor of the white ancestry.

@Rockstafeller lol he looks just like he could easily fit into my family...lol you should look up this artist Neguinho de Beja .... he is above 60% european. He is as dark as chris Rock.... thats genetics you never what you're gonna get
-
@Rockstafeller Um if you paid close attention you would realize that someone's phenotype is not representative of their total background. tom joyner is lighter skinned than gates and has light eyes yet gates is 50% euro while tom is 35%, Charles barkley is light skinned and is about the same percentage as chris rock here.

@Fuzzbabby yeah your right but i still dont believe his test results...
-
VERY STUPID DOCUMENTARY. I am African myself and there is no way this stuff works. VERY VERY INACCURATE.
-
@ebeledi seems right phenotype isn't completely representative, of genetic background. And gates looks very similar to Obama
-
those dna test are not accurate there is no way louis is only 50 percent black, especially when you look at his mom it just doesnt add up...but he sure has white in him just not half white .
-
@sweensea He must be blind as fuck to not know he was half-white, he looks exactly like 1st generational biracials in Europe

I watched this and I thought it was great, DNA can surprise us all and we are more alike than unalike.
We're all just human!

I saw this documentary on PBS, and Henry Gates Jr. looked really upset that most of his DNA came from Ireland and Northern Europe. He even traveled to Ireland in the documentary, but you could tell it made him feel resentful to know he was so white.
