Does a person have to be white to score European (French, Italian, Greek, Polish or Scandinavian etc ) on ancestry DNA tests?

Yeah. You have to have genetics from those places for the genetic test to say you're greek, french, etc.

No obviously. If you have a parent who is Jamaican and have one that's from France you are likely not to come out with white skin lol.
So just because you aren't white don't mean you aren't European

That makes the person half white then.
People like Barack Obama is mixed race. Barack Obama isn’t a pure black man he is mixed race.

Nobody would call Barack Obama white because he's clearly not. Ancestry and colour of your skin are two different things.

[Asker]

His skin isn’t that dark if you compare him to people like Seal.
Barack Obama has a white mother and black father so that technically does make him half white.

And? You know 2 people can be born in Africa from the same tribe and have different tones of black skin does this matter? Hell no. They are still black.
And Obama no matter what shade of black he is, he's still black.
If he was shot you wouldn't say a white man was shot because he's clearly not white.
What are you not understanding?
