Depends really, there are a lot of pretty pure places in the country, once you get into more urban areas the lines do become somewhat blurred. A lot of Brits are Pan Euro looking to begin with, the Brits that are super easy to tell apart are usually English people with bigger noses, there are so many Borrebys, Brunns and Sub-Nordids even the purer looking people look pan Euro.

A lot of it is environment though only the palest people don't tan well, most Americans get farmers tans unless they wear tanktops or lowcut shirts. Most Irish people outside the East Coast are protestants, mostly Baptist or Pentecostal etc. A lot of Irish on the East Coast are Evangelists now.

Nobody is trying to sell southern Europeans as northern Europeans. Why the hell you invent this argument? We are just trying to break stereotypes and bad information because Spain is the country in the world that is sold in a extreme different way (in many aspects) than what we really are. Posting non-mediterranean looking Spaniards is to show our variability. Posting just atlanto-meds or meds would be retarded since that is the main group of people and anyone can see it.
Also the idea is to show that we don´t really have a real average on looks. We have from the purest nordic types to the extreme mediterraneans (non-whites). We have from germanic-russian-british looking to gypsy looking (Raul for example). There are like 40% of meds (in different skin tones) to 30-40% of central European looking types (in fact, our genoma indicates that most of our genetics came in the same root than central-Europeans: all indo-europeans from iberians to celtic or romans, from megalithic peoples to suevians, all of them are the same than in central-Europe). Trying to debunk the idea that we are just a "med" country is showing reality of what we are, nothing else.
Those that use dark-contrast pictures or bad quality ones are also selling fake ideas. I can take a finnish person and he would look ethnic if I use bad quality pictures (as you can see in your pictures, Gerard Pique has blue eyes and in your pictures he looks like having black eyes, so imagine how dark all the features look in all your examples).

Northern Europe whites according to this guy.
There are lots of northern Europeans with ASIAN blood. You mistake being lighter with being white. This Spaniard is whiter than lots of Scandinavians, if we follow the idea of being pure western European with being white:
Learn to differenciate. And yes, it was us Spaniards the ones that invented:
-The white term.
-The racial classifications.
-Blood purity (Limpieza de sangre).
-Blue blood (sangre azul).
The anglos just copied it.

Just an aside note. When I hear the idea of a "British EMPIRE" I can´t do a thing but laught. The brits (and many others that think that they had an empire like the dutch or the mongols, and others) never had a proper empire. They were just COMMERCIAL SUPERPOWERS but not real empires. The Brits only went there to economically benefit from trades and the only (minimal) constructions that they left in their ex-colonies were just for the use of the brits and to facilitate the trades. The same with the dutch and others.
A real Empire is like the Roman one or the Spanish one. In Spanish Empire we colonized, built cities, built schools, universities, hospitales, churches, cathedrals, we gave laws, rights (all the people under the Spanish Empire were Spaniards and had the same rights than in mainland Spain). They were not colonies but provinces and virreinatos. We left like 30 Unesco World Heritage sites in our Empire, while the british left nothing.
And when I read that the british commercial superpower (what they call Empire) was the largest ever it is funny. For example, if they had a commercial point in Canada, then they paint all of Canada (which is massive and bigger than all of Europe) is taken as "british empire" summing all the km2 to their "empire". The same for australia. What did they have in Australia? 1-2cities?? Then, they sell the idea as if they discovered, colonized and built things in all of Australia and take all their km2 to their "empire". I wonder in which cities of India they were? 4-5? Then they take all of India as part of their "empire". The same with the "Hunnic" empire. What did they huns leave in their "empire"? Nothing. They were just pillaging, destroying, killing, and raping. Nothing else. And they never owned the places they were routing but the maps are painted as if there were huns in all of Eastern Europe, in every single city.
Just so people realize the amount of lies that comes with people selling fake ideas about what they were or are.
