your entire life?

I'm just wondering since I was going through my 23andMe DNA Relatives (after doing a DNA Test on myself) and discovered a couple of 3rd and 4th cousins who I'd never expect to be somewhat related to me (sharing a very small portion of same DNA as me). I'm Mexican-American, with Spanish/Iberian and Broadly Southern European being the most predominant ancestry (64.8% European) and American Indian being my 2nd most predominant (25.4% Native American and East Asian), which is expected of most Mexicans considering the colonial history. However, I found one young woman on my DNA Relatives list who is about 98% European (with British & Irish being her most predominant ancestry) so I'm assuming she's mainly more Irish judging by her last name (which I censored for privacy sake) and Non-Hispanic (despite having around 7% Iberian ancestry in her results).

She is predicted to be my 4th cousin so I was thinking of messaging her to say hello but it would feel kind of awkward.

Do you think 4th cousins can be considered your "family" despite being far apart in sharing the same DNA and never knowing each other personally?

I don't know if it's just me, but to me it seems like white people wear shorts much more often than other races.

From my personal experience, at least, I see a heck tone more pale bare legs than other colors (slightly tanned, brown, dark brown, etc).

It seems like white people wear shorts a lot, while other races (Black, Asian, Latino, Hispanic, etc) wear long pants more often and rarely wear shorts.

I don't know if it's because darker skin attracts more heat so wearing shorts would do more harm than good, or if dark bare legs are not seen as attractive as pale bare legs by society, or if white people are just more carefree and casual, or if it's not even a thing at all and I'm overthinking... but from my experience, white people wear shorts more.
