Looks kinda like Ricky Martin.

[Valenman]

It doesn't look like typical Spanish obviously, but it doesn't look like gypsy either, or at least the ones I know.

An assyroid with a terrible nosejob (the guy should get a nose revision).

[TheWolf97]

Berid or Paleosardinian

Looks similar to me

Imo he doesn't look Arab, most Arabs have hooked noses. this guy looks portuguese to me

[TheWolf97]

Berid

I'm sure this guy is very common in Brazil.

[Uranous]

Looks quadroon

[mariavazq]

He is clearly not an ethnic Spaniard. Impossible to know his origin without seeing his family photos, he appears to have a black or negroid background.

What??? Do you really think that this plastic pug thing on his face is his real nose?? That's a clear nosejob, a bad one that is. :picard1:

He looks iranian-arab mix with an MJ nose. He doesn't look portuguese at all, not a typical one. If not MENA then a castizo from brazil at best...

Look at this video from 2:47, he shows his family and they look normal Spaniards

Spaniards cannot be dark or have strange features, only gypsies, Latinos or mixed people, at most a few Canarians sell looking like that.Elsewhere, people like the Morancos or Alberto Chicote are 100% Spanish and have common traits here.
You didn't know that, right?

Tbh this guy actually looks more exotic than tonnes of Iranians even so his background is intriguing, he's obviously a talented footballer which would rule out south Asian influence and he doesn't even look that north African, I do get the feeling he has to have some exotic maybe gypsy influence going back.

My comment was sarcasm obviously, I don't know if there is something about it, it's not the most exotic Spanish that I saw or that has been posted in the forum nor is it very dark, but to know. The Halland looks the same or more exotic than that David, but It is 100% Norwegian.

Hahaha, I did once post a Spanish British Airways executive who does look exotic but even he looks more Spanish than this guy, having spent a lot of time visiting Spain and eating in the restaurants, watching the fiestas I haven't seen many if any who look like Raya.

I don't know many ethnic Spaniards who look like him, but the truth is I haven't seen similar gypsies either, in Spain they probably wouldn't think he was ethnic Spanish, in fact I myself wouldn't think he was, but of course the same thing would happen with people like Morancos for example who They are also very exotic, but in these forums there is doubt about the Spanishness of exotic "light" but about Dark, when it is much more likely that a Spaniard like Morancos has recent non-Spanish ancestry than people like Raya, until the 90s there were almost no Immigration to Spain of people from non-European countries, on the contrary, immigration from European countries + millions of tourists from northern/central Europe every year. That is why I partly understand the trolling that many Iberians receive on TA and other platforms.
