Are Spaniards closer to Moroccans than to Swedes?

[Svartálfar]

Obviously Spaniards are closer to Swedes. Moroccans are Berbers mixed with negroes and meds. They will stick out like sore thumbs anywhere in Europe, whereas many spaniards can easily fit in Scandinavia and vice versa.

[Aces High]

Geographically yes.....culturally no.

[Svartálfar]

Swedes don't look Western European all the time though. A lot of them look more Finnish than Norwegian to me.

I beg to differ. Swedes look northern Germanic and quite different from Finns. Actually I've a hard time telling apart a southern Swedish, Danish, Northern Dutch, north western German person apart from each other.

[Mordid]

I think Spaniards especially from Southern part are closer to Moroccans because they were once ruled by people from Northern Africa. I think they originated from Morocco mainly. So Spaniards from South have the 'Moorish' look with very dark hairs and eyes. Please don't get mad at me, but I cannot tell Spaniards from Morocanns (teh one without Arab and Negroid admixture) apart.

[Pallantides]

Swedish, Finnish or Norwegian?

[Svartálfar]

Pallantines I could post hundreds of photos of Frisians, Saxons, Danes and Scanians too.

[Korbis]

Spaniards/Iberians were actually pretty dark-complected centuries before the Moorish invasion, according to Roman historians. Atleast the "peasant" types (visigoths were just the rulers).

I know its a joke thread, just saying.

Tell me the truth, son. You have not seen many moroccans so far.

[Amapola]

Genetically we are far closer to Swedes actually.

Dodecad Oracle distances :

Spain vs Sweden 38.47
Spain vs Morocco 60.71

It's obvious.

For example, me (I am Andalusian, from the far south)

and I am closer to the Swedes than Moroccans too:

Not really, I am Andalusian, from Granada, the place where the Moors stayed longer. And i am genetically closer to any European, including Swedes, than Moroccans. Even Andalusians as a group, I would post it later.

If you can't tell an Andalusian from a Moor, pls travel or ask Osweo. He's been here.

[The Ripper]

Swedes are actively becoming more and more like Moroccans.
