I assume the study excludes actual blacks, immigrants from Africa -- if any are included, then these percentages are of course too high for true Yemeni-Arabs.<br /><br />Even assuming the 9-20% figure is a little inflated, the typical Yemeni is still in "octoroon" territory, with the darkest tenth or so of the population in "quadroon" territory!<br /><br />Now consider this:<br />I recently learned that the actress "<a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0748973/" rel="nofollow">Maya Rudolph</a>" is the product of an Ashkenazim father and a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minnie_Riperton" rel="nofollow">black woman</a> who is probably half to two-thirds white by ancestry. Interestingly, that would make Maya Rudolph a more-Europeanized version of the typical Yemeni. [Both have about the approx. the same amount of black blood, and both have Semitic blood. Rudolph has lots of European blood too, is the difference].<br /><br />Two more Ashkenazim-Black mixes are the actress-sisters "<a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0429069/" rel="nofollow">Rashida Jones</a>" and "<a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0428588/" rel="nofollow">Kidada Jones"</a>. (The Jewish parent, a <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0005152/" rel="nofollow">Peggy Lipton</a>, seems to be more-Europeanized than the typical "Ostjude", from which she apparently <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peggy_Lipton" rel="nofollow">descends</a>... so the daughters are less in the vicinity of typical Yemeni than Miss Rudolph).Wandererhttp://img517.imageshack.us/img517/280/growthideologywp7.jpgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-227780861638767023.post-19162307160172213982010-09-09T00:11:18.203+01:002010-09-09T00:11:18.203+01:00Approximately 30% of mtDNA lineages in South Arabi...<i>Approximately 30% of mtDNA lineages in South Arabian samples are African L haplotypes, whose origin has usually been attributed to migration and assimilation of African females into the Arabian population over approximately the last 2,500 years. </i><br /><br />A prime example of extreme patriarchy and male chauvinism gone wrong. If they do not value females then they're all equally worthless, so it does not matter if they take an African bride as long as she observes Islamic tradition and does her husband's bidding.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
