Where did that come from. 2% south Indian wtf? Lol. Maybe from a Gypsy ancestor? What's this South Indian? Because they look different than the Gypsies. The North Indians i think look closer to a average Gypsy from Europe or west Asia?
I wonder why I'm not very dark skinned, like dark brown or something if I have ancestry from very dark people. (I'm talking about like South Indian and even drops of ssa, which is higher on update). Cray cray

Even gypsies can be "light skinned" and look nothing like gypsies at all, but still score dna results like normal gypsies.

I do think you probably had a gypsy ancestor some time ago

What does harappaworld says? Eurogenes k12b sometimes increase "south asian" up to 2% from HW to eurogenes k12b.
But i do believe you have gypsy ancestry
On harappaworlds its 0.38%. And on 23andme 0.5% (outdated, need to retest for my Update 23andme results)

That's interesting! How would you get that? If you're Latin American then it could either be Gypsy migration from Europe or descendants of Precolonial Rajahs in the Philippines immigrating to America via the Manila Galleons.
