This may be news to most of you but, among most African Americans I know, having some European ancestry comes as no surprise. As a matter of fact, I have relatives in Georgia that refuse to recognize any relative they know with African ancestry. That’s really silly in some ways because recessive genes do eventually manifest themselves. I’ve known a few “white” people with “black” features and have wondered about such things.
