I'm a mutt in every sense...
My father's side:
Father's mother 100% Cherokee.
She lived to be 102yoa.
Father's father - 50% Black (of West African decent, My great great grand father was a slave in the Carolinas near Savannah, GA)
50% Irish (and that's where my Irish last name derives.)
Black man meets Irish woman in S. Carolina, and boom: My Grandfather.
Cherokee woman meets my half black/Irish grandfather in Carolina, and out comes daddy.
My mother's side:
Mother's mother 50% Black (but get this, her father was a black Brazilian, born in Brazil.)
50% Mexican (her mom was from Southern Cali.
*Black Brazilian meets Mexican in LA, and my grandmother pops out.
Mother's father - 50% French-Indian (his mother was a french speaking Indian (no idea what tribe) from New Orleans)
50% Black (his father was black from Ghana).
African meets French-Indian in NoLA and my grand father pops out.
Brazilian/Mexican woman meets a cajun/french speaking Black/Indian guy in LA, and out comes mommy.
Last:
Black/Cherokee/Irish man meets Black Brazilian/French-Indian/Mexican woman in Los Angeles and I'm born in Atlanta...
Go figure.
