You're not European either. I asked you where you were from and you simply said South America, and in another PM you said you would love to visit Europe one day. I've never met a "European" who knows so little about his own continent (you classified Greece as a Latin/Romance country for God's sake ). You're probably a white South American of European descent, which makes you no more "European" than a white North American of European descent.

Keep in mind that Europeans put much greater emphasis on cultural identity than on 'race', so simply having European parents does not make you European in most Europeans' eyes. If you were born and raised outside of Europe, you are generally not accepted as "European" in Europe. A third-generation African who is fully integrated into (for example) French society is much more likely to be considered European than a person born of two French parents who has spent his entire life outside of Europe.

Personally I don't believe you ever lived in Europe based on your posts. You are a European wannabe.
You live in the land of the mixed race, you better get used to it.

You make no sense at all when it comes to what people look like in different countries. Do you really believe that all Italians look alike? Or Brits? Or Germans? I love how you are the expert on what every person in every country looks like. You need to find some other hobby, cause you're bad at this one.

I think that is the deal with our Don Juan here. He probably has a tiny bit of Spanish blood, and hates the fact he is not fully European background. I'm thinking he also hates the fact that S. America is not fully white. His outlet is to trash Brits and Americans as not so attractive or as White as the rest of Europe. Get lost. Your posts are trash.
By his speech I guees he's from Argentina, Chile or Uruguay and of northern European background.

That was in the past, when race and religion was not an issue. Any white person from the Americas that behaves properly, has some money and looks good is sort of "generic European".

For example, we receive zillions of Mexicans and Brazilians with lots of money that are white, they are considered as some sort of generic Europeans. It does not matter if they are somehow dark, which is not generally the case.

Americans (including Latin Americans) with Northen European appearance are classed as "guiris", along with Northen Europeans.

As to the black person born in France, blah, blah...I'm not French, but I doubt it very much.

When people here see white Latin Americans, most people assume they are from the "emigración", descendants of the great emigration that took place before the Spanish civil war. Lots of them in Northern Spain.

Americans are easy to tell from Europeans. They are generaly heavier, dress more casualy, and walk differently.

In France, exepted by some people with far-right ideologies (and even then, the official positions of the FN accept non-white french people as fully french), french identity is firstly a cultural thing.
