I would be surprised if ~3% of the population of these countries had at least one British ancestor in the last five hundred years.
    I put it clearly in the first post Brás:
    Los porcentajes representan la porción de usuarios de ADN de MyHeritage con etnia XXXX en ese país.

    Iberian etc. on a admixture calculator doesn't mean Iberian, it usually means you have a lot of Neolithic Farmer dna. I show up as Basque on some calculators because my ancestors are from Pictland (Fife) and have heavy Neolithic ancestry from the closed off Pictish population which today is still shown to be ethnically unique.

Also WW2 spread our genetics all around the globe. There are tons of Mexicans of American and Irish descent, tons of Argentine's, a fair amount of Brazilians etc. That's not even a flex, I am fairly ashamed of the WW2 and War babies, pretty dishonorable, but there are tons of Japs, Koreans, Vietnamese, Filipino's and even Chinese with some American dna floating around.
    Regardless of that, I would say that there are more people with Iberian ancestry in France, Brazil, Argentina and Mexico to name a few of the countries you mentioned. The Portuguese were the first Europeans to reach and settle in India, China and Japan through a maritime route. The Philippines is a former Spanish colony too. It seems pretty balanced to me.

    Same for English, unless we really believe that 40% of the Dutch have actual British ancestry or that 20% of the German population has British ancestors.

    We can use evolutionary fitness to evaluate that.

    According to this principle, it's undoubtetly Iberians because even if there are probably less individuals with "pure admixure" (if anything like that exist, let's say clustering in the Iberian cluster) people that have partial Iberian ancestry (even 30% or 40%) are very numerous.

    At the end of the day the weighed sum of the "copies" of "Iberian DNA" is much larger than the brit one I would say.

    Because to be clear, in the US German ancestry is the main ancestry followed by Brits (for Whites), then we have Australia, New Zealand, some others countries with Brit diaspora but I don't think that it will counter-act the millions and millions and millions of people in Latin America or Carribean Islands with atleast partial Iberian ancestry...

    Accordez-moi toujours asile et sûreté,
    Car j'aime à respirer l'air pur de vos montagnes,

    I am not sure if the Irish members will agree with that. Unless they are from Northern Ireland.

    I feel like British ancestry is severly undercounted in United States. Most white americans+ African Americans + native American + people of mixed of two races

    Ireland is a part of the British Isles, that would be like a Basque saying he is not Iberian because they hate Spaniards
