I’ve been seeing minor percentages of East African/Southern East African show up on many African American tests and I was wondering if anybody has ever been able to find any relatives or any connection to Eastern Africa. Yes, I already know African Americans are typically West African.

I'm not sure if this is the correct sub to post this in but I figured if anyone can understand my perspective, it's women.

Right now I'm dealing with a lot of mental turmoil due to my job. I work in the service industry which is often filled with toxic masculinity and this job is no different. I've got a bunch of managers at my job but the head managers are both men. I feel my GM is very sexist. Holds women to a much higher standard than the men. Gives the most hours to mediocre male employees, while the women who are better at their job are fighting for hours. It feels so infuriating that I work so hard at my job just to not get the recognition because I'm not a man. I feel helpless as a woman.

My GM doesn't take the safety of the women on staff seriously. We have a lot of creepy male staff members and customers who hit on the women at work. A former manager hit on one of the girls we worked with and our GM continued to schedule them together despite her being uncomfortable. We recently caught the head BOH manager cat calling a staff member's minor sister on the job. We have a customer who works next door and frequently comes in to hit on the girls. We've seen him waiting for us outside the door after close and looking at us through the windows. We've complained to our GM but his response was "we'll wait until he crosses a line". Basically won't do anything until one of us gets assaulted....

Recently we had a male staff member attempt to swing on a manager who was a woman. She got fired but the man stayed. I told my GM I was worried about our safety and he told me I can find another place to work at and the man's actions were justified. Obviously this is really upsetting to hear. It's triggered something in me that makes me so upset. This is the first time in my life I've truly felt defeated as a woman because of my gender. How do you navigate the workplace with stuff like this?

I'm currently watching season 8 right now (I bounce from seasons to season) and it makes I'm seriously perplexed as to how Jeff has stayed in the competition so long despite being in the bottom frequently. I feel like he's lasted way too long for his skill set. I felt similarly about Cutter in season 5. What do yall think?

Approximately 25% of the Africans brought to the US were from Angola and the Congo but African Americans on average have around half that amount today.

Instead they seem to have more ancestry from Nigeria, Benin/Togo, and Sierra Leone/Liberia.

Why?
