How the hell can you be 98% Vietnamese, 1% Chinese and 1% Japanese? |
A few generation ago someone in his family tree had a kid with someone who was half Japanese & half Chinese, that person makes up 2% of his ethnicity. I'm not to good with percentages so I couldn't tell you exactly how many generations ago. Actually I'll work it out...
X=Japanese/Chinese (person in the family tree)
Y=Vietnamese
half X once each generation as it is deluded with Y.
generation 1 = 50% (25% Chinese, 25% Japanese)
generation 2 = 25%
generation 3 =12.5%
generation 4 = 6.25%
generation 5 = 3.125%
generation 6 = 1.5625% (.753125% Chinese, .753125% Japanese)
DAMNIT!
Okay, so it wasn't one person of different race entering the tree but rather two or more perhaps of mixed race.

Highly doubtful and even if its possible there is no way in hell he or his family will know about it. Not like Vietnam keep record or family trees.

It's far from impossible. I know personally that I'm 1/128th Romanian. I know this because three generations ago, there was a crisis in my family when they found out that there was a gipsy in the bloodline, which they felt was a horrible disgrace.
In other words, I can with very high probability state that I am 99% Norwegian and 1% Romanian. I can't say with absolute certainty, because I don't know anything beyond four generations up on my father's side, but considering how few immigrants there were in Norway in the 1800s, it's likely just Norwegians, and possibly a Swede.
If I can know, he certainly can too.
