Do you notice Northern Europeans have smaller eyes than Southern Europeans? (Norwegian, culture)

No offence don but what you are doing with the pictures is kind of like ethnic cleansing. You cant look at somebody whos white and say theyre english theyre irish and theyre brythonic lol...
Its pretty obvious, you can do that very easily if you have had the chance to live a decent amount of time in a country, you are able to spot who is native and who isnt.

Don Caballero, and a lot of Spanish men it seems, take an unusual interest in racial genetics and the like. No coincidence that when my ancestors colonized Latin America, they kept a detailed list of racial categories and neatly put everyone into them. There were more categories than just peninsular, mestizo, indio, and africano. Still to this day, my people are some of the most racist people on the planet. Not racist as in Hitler extermination racist, but just obsess about categorizing people based on their looks. It's a big deal in Latin America on how much white you are still, and where it comes from and what your looks are. I'd belong to the white class in Latin America, but I'd still rank lower than a blond or light brown haired blue eyed person of Spanish descent because I look like a Moorish Spaniard, not a northern Spaniard

But is that really important? Why do you take notice of people's origins.
I always wondered why latin america as so many categories and whatever. I thought latin americans where the most 'un' racist people in the world because of how multicultural and integrated everything is there. Alot of people call judgements on people's race/ethnic group all over the world.

A lot of them are working class so they would tend to mix with other people of different color than them. The middle classes and up stayed white. A lot of the mixed people also tend to try to be as white as they can be. This is noted when they come here, they always check the White Hispanic boxes on the census and employment questionnaires, even if they are darker than me. Also when you have multiple kids in the family, sometimes all of them would have non-brown eyes and the unlucky one with brown eyes is singled out as the weird one (el negrito/la negrita) or the reverse is true, the only child with non-brown eyes is the favorite son/daughter. There is no legal discrimination in Latin America, but a hell of a lot of self-discrimination. Black and indigenous people also have next to no prospects of pulling themselves up
Cause a lot of racial minorities think being white somehow grants automatic privilege and wealth. It's mostly the media's fault, I think. Latin American TV shows always portray white people as well to-do and beautiful while the meztisos are the maids, handymen, etc.
