George Lopez is an American comedian, actor, and television personality. He was the host of the show Lopez Tonight from 2009 to 2011.
His father, Anatasio Lopez, was a Mexican emigrant, from Nayarit. His mother, Frieda, was born in Los Angeles, of Mexican descent. George has a daughter, actress Mayan Lopez, with his former wife Ann Serrano.
George’s paternal grandparents were named Francisco Lopez and Josefa.
George’s maternal grandfather was John Hernandez (the son of Pedro Hernandez and Raphaela Vargas). John was born in California, to parents from Leon, Guanajuato, Mexico.
George’s maternal grandmother was Benita N. Torres (the daughter of Alfonso Torres and Manulea Mares). Benita was born in California. Manuela was born in Santiago Apostol, Silao, Guanajuato, Mexico, the daughter of Lucio Mares and Maria Guadalupe Héras. George’s step-grandfather was named Refugio Gutierrez.
A DNA test whose results were displayed on the show Lopez Tonight (2009) stated that George’s genetic ancestry is:
*55% European
*32% Native American
*9% East Asian
*4% Sub-Saharan African
The exact accuracy of the DNA tests on Lopez Tonight has been questioned by genealogist Megan Smolenyak Smolenyak.
Look like typical mestizo.
I Don’t Believe For A Second He’s 55% Native American. He Looks Straight Up Aztec!
It says that he’s only 32% Native American.
32% Native American + 9% East Asian = 41% mongoloid which IS a significant amount and certainly would show in your looks. I’ve seen U.S. Native Americans score the same or even less than that. Most mestizos come out looking “indio” very few come out looking “gueros” or else mexicans wouldn’t have the stereotype of being brown. The Criollos knew this that’s why they implemented the Cast system. You have to have 60%+ euro to consider someone “predominately european” heritage cause only then do you see an effect in their looks, Kuno Becker and Ximena Navarrete are examples of Mexicans of predominately european heritage. G-LO is simply mestizo nothing more
He’s an African American.
no way. you can’t be that stupid.
It’s a joke. Watch the youtube clip
there is no way! no way your that stupid…
55% European..? And only 34% Native? O.o
LOL I said the same thing. He looks predominately Native.
he looks more like 60% native 20% european, this makes me think the “DNA tests” on his show aren’t legit
You can’t figure out people’s genotype (genetic makeup) entirely through physical attributes. The genetic information could be exactly what he says, but all we see is his phenotype (observed traits that out of the multitude of combinations possible are expressed). That is how two white people (who may have had sub-african ancestry) could possibly have a black child (it’s VERY rare but has happened). The child might look black, but the child’s DNA test might show that it is predominantly European. This is an extreme example, but it gets the idea across.
actually, there is a new way to find out only through genomic analysis. I have seen how they do it. read about it.
look it up and you can find out all about it
Genomics looks at DNA and its sequencing and such (in very simple terms), and that is not observable to the eye. So, I’m not entirely sure why you would premise your statement with “actually” because you’re basically supporting what I wrote. You still need to look at someone’s DNA rather than their overall physical appearance to be accurate.
Ikr? He looks 90% NA, the rest Spanish.
