Are Spaniards considered "white"?
Mixed opinions it seems from the net.
shareIt depends.
shareThey seem to come in variety of colors. Although, in general, not as white as Northern Europeans. And not many blonde or blue eyes Spainairds. They almost resemble Italians.
shareThey also resemble Portuguese people.
shareI saw a tour bus in Hollywood recently of Spanish kids. Most had blonde hair and blue eyes. Celtic tribes did invade Spain and mix with the locals.
shareMy mother was Spanish and she had blonde hair and blue eyes, but it's an exception. It's very rare.
shareIt must be regional then.
I'm telling you, a bunch of blond blue-eyed kids got off a tour bus in Hollywood. They were all speaking Spanish and I was like "WTF?" because it's common to hear Spanish here among Latino immigrants. But most Latinos are brunette.
I chatted with one girl and asked her where they were from. Spain.
The north and the south are very different. That's why some areas in the north have been trying to become independent for decades.
The brown-skinned stereotype is typical from the south. The north looks like dark-haired Europeans (think France, or dark-haired Irish). Blonde hair is still rare, though.
Probably those kids came from the North-East area.
I was actually thinking North-West, like Galicia. There's a heavy Celtic input in the gene pool there.
The Gallaeci were originally a Celtic people who for centuries had occupied the territory of modern Galicia and northern Portugalshare
