Any "Melungeons" here?

"Melungeon is a term traditionally applied to one of numerous "tri-racial isolate" groups of the Southeastern United States. Historically, Melungeons were associated with the Cumberland Gap area of central Appalachia, which includes portions of East Tennessee, Southwest Virginia, and eastern Kentucky. Tri-racial describes populations thought to be of mixed European, African and Native American ancestry. Although there is no consensus on how many such groups exist, estimates range as high as 200.

Thinking about taking a DNA test to see which I might be, but even then those things seem sorta like they could be a waste. Any recommendations on which to use? I know for sure I am though, I'm white as hell but some family members going back were definitely mixed.

You might be able to claim me as one of your own Mask :')

When you talk does it sound like you have a piece of shit rolling around in your mouth or do you have a Midwestern/California, proper accent? Someone may mistake you for a melungeon if you sound like that. It happens.
