Spaniard Actor Antonio Banderas, classified as coloured for Oscars

[Nordarya]

I'm only half italian.

Yes, so that makes you pan-Latin. The Sicilies used to belong to Aragon, so maybe Sicilians can be Hispanics.

The french area from where I have ancestors isn't at all "Latin". I'm a Central Euro/Southern mix nothing more.

What's the difference between being French and Italian and calling for Iberian and Italian fraternity under the Latin banner?

I only say that Iberians and Italians should be proud of being Latin brothers, you could add possibly France in between, you probably haven't seen the wars between Italicroots and some spaniard users here that liked to troll Italy, or people that brought the "Atlantic facade agenda" with the spaniard that could pass as dark Brits and not Italians etc.

This was utterly ridiculous.

I just think about Bonaparte being of Italian origin in France, being Emperor of France and King of Italy, then Napoleon III trying to rule Latin America via Venice, while Haiti, Mexico and Brazil were all copycats of the Continental system of imperialism.

The American media and the hordes on social media are a complete clusterfvck when it comes to race and classifications. The trials and tribulations of a affluent and pampered society with too much time on its hands are on full display here.

[Latinus]

He is sold by Hollywood as "latino" (he has used makeup in some films to be sold as darker than what he really is) so millions of "latinos" feel somehow identified and go to the cinemas.
He is just a darker than average Spaniard and he only look somehow "ethnic" because he has a long-distance eyes, so he looks rare-strange. He is lighter than his Swiss-germanic Kimpel wife:




And despite being him a dark Spaniard, he produces ligher daughters than Don Johnson anglo-germanic actor, with the same wife. On the middle: Don Johnson daughter. On the right: Antonio Banderas daugther:

Antonio Banderas darker than average Spaniard? Sure...

[KMack]

About the same as Lawspeaker's mail order bride.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viking_raid_on_Seville

The "funny" thing with this viking raid in Sevilla is that the muslim that received the vikings was himself a blond-blue eyed visigothic Spaniard converted to islam. So, the vikings and some of those "muslims" were direct cousins and fought against each others. And some of the vikings survived the battles and went to live to some small villages in Sevilla. There is a cheese made there today that is the only example of nordic cheese (the same procedure) in southern Europe. I have read it somewhere.
