The concept of "racial classification" used in the United States based upon phenotypes (*******, mongoloid, etc.) has been disproven especially as a result of the human genome project. Today, racial classifications are based upon social constructs...that is, it is based upon ethnicity (or cultural identity) such as geographic location, religious or cultural tradition, shared phenotypes, or language. You are entitled to claim both your African and Native American heritage. My suggestion is that you concentrate on embracing all of your heritage and learn more about your African roots (whether from the transatlantic crossing or African immigration) and Native American traditions. Study the language, the rites and traditions, the language and embrace it as your own.

Rather than all the politically correct answers, to answer your question, you are descended from both mongoloid and ******* ancestry. What culture you adopt will reveal more what you are rather then genes. I had both an Irish Catholic side and a Russian Jewish side to my family. In time I found myself a Jew in thought and manner. On the other hand I would pay to see Irish Singers and have, Celtic Woman, but would not pay to hear a cantor sing (oh wait, Temple dues...dang) but I have no belief in the Catholic view. Your heart knows what you feel you are, and none of us know.

******* and mongoloid refer to morphological traits only (hence the -oid suffix), so without looking at you it would be about impossible to tell. I won't go into the problematic nature of those labels themselves. There is a lot of overlap between the three main groups, so it's likely you could match your traits with the available lists and go either way.

We're all mixed. Only some of us are mixed up about it.
It was Blumenbach who came up with the five "races" you're drawing from, right? Wasn't he, basically, wrong? I mean, I've gotten over the "moon is made of cheese" fiasco.
When will you get a clue?
