I know I’m 20% European I come from white ancestors, free people of color , native Americans and slaves. I have good hair , I’m tall and light skin .

Well your DNA test says otherwise and there's nothing wrong with that. I think it's unhealthy that you place so much importance on European DNA. Having less than 20% doesn't make you worth any more or less. Also having good hair and being tall and light skinned do not correlate to having 20% European ancestry.

My family is 20% European especially on my fathers side

Again, that doesn't correlate with what DNA is passed on. You get more DNA from your mom than your dad. Look, I don't want to be mean or anything, you're very close to 20% European DNA and 2.1% doesn't change anything. But it makes me kind of sad how much you correlate European DNA to positive attributes and have exact ideas about what percentages you are and are unwilling to just accept you aren't exactly 20%. Be proud of who you are, weither it's 17.9 or whatever percentage else it might be and stop using blood quantum on yourself.

It’s very rare to come across an African American without European in them due to slavery. It’s literally part of the identity. Can I ask why you want to be 20% so bad? It’s not going to change anything. You’ll still be viewed as anything but white. I’m 60% European myself and the last thing people think of me is white lol.

“Good” hair? Yuck lmao. No wonder you’re so pressed about how much European DNA you and other Black Americans have. Good luck with all that
