Okay, enough is enough. Let's summarize some City-Data facts about ethnic groups:
1. Spaniards and Italians are about as "white" as Nigerians. The ones who look white are in fact Mestizos, who just "pass" for being "white."
2. The populations of the British Isles don't have blond or light hair at all. Only an extremely tiny minority of Scandinavian origin can be perceived as "blonde". Also, Britons look more similar to Romanians or Cypriots than to the Dutch or the Germans. Generally, they don't share a culturally or genetically heritage with the latter.
3. White Americans are mostly mixed-race and "non-white". Although some of them are of pure European ancestry, they are more American Indian than English/Irish/German etc.
4. The Dutch, the Danish and the Swedish are all blond. They are more "Nordic" than the North Pole itself. They are so white and blond that they need to wear sunglasses to be able to see each other in daylight. Brown hair or black hair in those countries is an evidence of recent immigration. Just can't be "native", you know?
5. French-born and "white Algerian" Zinedine Zidane would be considered "Mexican" in rural Utah. He's not white but black obviously.
6. The French and the English look the same. Wayne Rooney looks like he'd be from the Provence.

It sounds pretty absurd when you put it down in black and white. There is only a tiny minority that thinks like this and it is all not based on anything more than the agenda of a few posters. Maybe even one poster. I think a lot of these posts originate from one person who is a bit obsesssed with blond and blue eyed people. I could name the poster who originates all these threads. They have a few aliases and are allowed to continue with the same spiel on this forum. It is getting very tiresome.
I don't think Spanish look Latin American, if anything I think they look more French in nature with Arab ancestry in the South, just my opinion though...
they look Mediterranean. they feature alot of features from latin americans (brown eyes, brown hair) but they also feature alot of european feature (light skin, lighter shade hair).

If you are directing that at me...Hey don't try to blame it all on me, some of the points he made we're not from me but other posters.

Yes, the funny thing is that they create a Europe that does not exist....I mean, they must be from some remote place 18.000 km away from Europe, and somebody told them that their origins are in Europe, so they recreated a totally artificial virtual world using debris extracted from cookish webs such as Stormfront, or the one created by people that believe that Hitler lives in a UFO in the North Pole.
Depends, some are related with redhaired Iberians from the Caucasus, haploids Z3f. Some have black nails and problem with their feet.
