Phenotype or Genotype

[Despina]

Hi. I am from turkey. i did dna test and i learned i have about %9-%10 east eurasian( mongoloid dna)as average central anatolian turkish.but i look like mixed. i have a little more asiatic features. Am i asian because of my phenotype or am i white because of my genotype?

Dna test aren't that reliable, and I think it was actually a too personal, dangerous information to share.

If you look white, your parent's look white, your grandparents look white, you are white or at least you can have a white partner without racemixing. If any of these fails you are mixed.

Hi. I uploaded my dna data on a calculater site. Dna test wasn't very descriptive.Dangerous information again but i need to say. Whatever you say race is determined with phenotype.

It looks like you are saying the same thing twice, but you act like they are conflicting instead of confirming each other.

You say you have some ~10% asian DNA, then you say you look partly asian. You are like many people in this part of the world after the mongol invasion almost a thousand years ago. Your DNA is mostly white but also has some asian.

i don't think i contradict. I mean i have just %10 asian dna and it influences and give me asiatic features. I see many people in internet and even though they have about 65-70 percent caucasian(white) dna and they look like pretty White. But i look like mixed. And i ask:how to determine the race, with phenotype or with genotype?

But your genotype and your phenotype both are saying the exact same thing, so there is no "one or the other." It is not choose to use one and ignore the other. Your genotype and phenotype are both in agreement that you are mixed race of white and asian.
