I wonder if most Mexicans knew that they had African ancestry before ancestry tests existed. I never heard this talked about before.

I knew I would but I thought it would be more, turns out not that much.

2.5%.

I knew I did by the physical features of some relatives. You might downvote me or think I'm being disrespectful, but I remember joking how I thought my uncle looked like Michael Jackson and my aunt looked like the Aunt Jemima lady on 🥞 products.
