Ethnic, while both Marisa’s parents are Italian, she has African ancestry through her mother. Her mother is 13% African, she found, through a DNA test, which would make Marisa 6.5%.

I think this site proves that whites are a lot more mixed than we are led on to believe. That is why I have no idea why people keep speaking of “pure whites” and such. I think you will find that there is no such thing.

In the video, Marisa mentions how she and her family are interested in genealogy. That is how she found out her mother has African ancestry. Her family is very Italian, though.
I brought it up simply because I think whites are a lot more mixed than we are led to believe. That is why I do not believe in “pure white.” It makes zero sense, anyway. Life did not start in Europe.
