6. The French and the English look the same. Wayne Rooney looks like he'd be from the Provence.

Very true statements... I would even say that prince Harry look like he's from Corsica...
Some people here in internet (not only city data) are funny when it comes to those subjects...

Why is it that people have no basic historic sense? North America was conquered by British and French...to the south the Spanish took what is now Mexico and some of the south western states - where areas the Spanish took over and settled. Spanish influence goes all the way south to Chile. When Spanish settlers settle in - some of them mate with the natives of the area...OF COURSE LATINS LOOK SPANISH - The are Spanish...

Latinos do not just have Spanish ancestry. They also have Amerindian and African ancestry so some may look like Spaniards ( ones who really have Spanish ancestry ) while some look like Amerindian or mulato. While Spaniards could never look like typical Latin Americans because they do not have Amerindian or African ancestry.

Also not all of them descended only from one European gene, some descended from
Portuguese, Italians, Germans, Croatians etc.

Yes because there were also many Germans who moved to Latin America, that's why some of them have German ancestry. Brasilian model Gisele Bundchen has German ancestry. Venezuelan actress Natalia Streignard is also half German.

Latin America is more diverse that many realize.

I think a better question may have been to ask, how many Latin Americans look Spanish (or other European) vs. how many look Middle Eastern or Persian? Even many Hawaiians look Hispanic as well as the Maori people.
