#qarsherskiyan

Genetic research has shown the Qarsherskiyans to be overwhelmingly of African and European descent, with a minority of Native American genetic ancestry. However, historical records show that many of the progenitors of the Qarsherskiyans were recorded as being Native Americans.

The term "Qarsherskiyan" was coined in 1991 to refer to certain multigenerationally mixed race families of the Eastern parts of the United States of America and Canada. Anyone who descends from a Triracial Isolate community that isn't one of the organized and named large groups such as the Redbone, Melungeon, or Lumbee community is considered to be of Qarsherskiyan stock. Descendants of Atlantic Creoles brought to the American Southeast are also considered to be of Qarsherskiyan stock. The Ethnic Qarsherskiyan community welcomes all genuine reconnecters from these families who wish to adopt the term Qarsherskiyan. The point of the term Qarsherskiyan is a label for these communities to express their unique multi-generationally mixed race heritage, which doesn't fit neatly into strict racial categorization options and often is Triracial and Polyracial, which are unusual identities for many average Americans not used to these concepts, who may expect someone to simply be Black or White or maybe even just biracial. The Qarsherskiyan identity guess these families agency and self-determination and a label for their unique pre-existing identities. The term didn't catch on until the end of 2019, and when it is eventually did it was thanks to the internet. Young Qarsherskiyan people work to use social media to document the unique cultures and traditions that different Qarsherskiyan families have. Some may have fusion cultures, such as, for example, one where people jump the broom at weddings, a tradition from Foundational Black Americans, but may also play banjo and make food from Appalachian culture.

Tri-racial isolate groups like the Qarsherskiyan people are common in the South and East Coast of the United States of America.

Gingers, also called Redheads, are a common natural occurrence in the Qarsherskiyan population. Not just White people have the ability to produce natural red hair.

Qarsherskiyan people often carry the MC1R gene expression that makes red hair, feckless, and often pale skin that burns easily.

Qarsherskiyan gingers are actually relatively common, especially in Northern Ohio and remote hollers/hollows of Appalachia.

Jewish, Roma/Romani/"gypsie", and Aboriginal Tasmanian ancestry also exists in many Qarsherskiyan folks. The Aboriginal DNA may shock people. It's from when in the 1800s and late 1700s, American seal hunters in the Bass Strait Islands of Australia took Aboriginal Tasmanian women, sometimes willfully and sometimes against their will, to satisfy their loneliness while spending months or years on small rocks and islets. They had mixed race children which wouldn't be allowed to marry White folks in much of the USA due to laws such as Virginia's Racial Integrity Act in the 1920s. Because of this, most people of Aboriginal Tasmanian descent in the Eastern and Southern USA married into the Qarsherskiyan community.
