6 Spaniards and 1 Slav

No surprise that there is no complain in Spain about 120,000 Ukrainian refugees, but all kind of complains when it comes from African and Muslim (mostly Northern African) "refugees".

The differences between both groups is like day and night. Ukrainians are fellow Europeans who will integrate into Spanish society with no problem. And they are actual refugees. Black African and Northern African immigrants are mostly young men more prone to commit felonies, who don't integrate, are racially and culturally incompatible with Spaniards, and are no more than economic immigrants with no intention to work hard, but seeking to be leeches from the Spanish welfare system.

BTW, I came too late to this thread to do my guess. My only comment is that the picture in the OP proves how the differences in looks of southern Euros (in this case Iberians) compared to other Euros are frequently exaggerated up to ridiculous extremes. The Slavic girl and the half Spanish/half British girl don't stand out as sore thumbs among the rest of full Spanish girls.

Ukranians were quite a big migrant community in Spain before this war, they integrate so well you would not know they were Ukranian until they started speaking, many look like light Spaniards or even normal Spaniards.

Not really - whether fair or dark, Ukrainians have very different facial features to Spaniards (and Western Europeans in general). This being said: (1) On the one hand, of course Ukrainians are much more culturally compatible and easy to fit in than most non-Euro migrant groups and (2) Re Ukrainians being supposedly very blonde and blue-eyed: I find the blondness of them, and Slavs in general, to be highly overrated, and they are far from looking like Scandinavians as a whole.

The differences between both groups is like day and night. Ukrainians are fellow Europeans who will integrate into Spanish society with no problem. And they are actual refugees. African and middle eastern immigrants are mostly young men more prone to commit felonies, who don't integrate, are racially and culturally incompatible with Spaniards, and are no more than economic immigrants with no intention to work hard, but seeking to be leeches from the Spanish welfare system.

I agree up to a point with that, but (1) Middle Easterners are Caucasoid too and (2) a large minority of Spaniards (and far Southern Euros more generally) don't really have white skin either. (Just saying).

But there are not many middle easterners in Spain. I should have said in my post "Muslim" instead of "Middle Easterners", because most Muslims immigrants in Spain are Northern Africans, who are far darker, and even many of them have SSA features, compared to Spaniards.

PS: And Spaniards are also noticeably lighter on average than Middle easterns populations, evan admitting that many of them are more Caucasoid and lighter than northern Africans.

Well yes, although that said I'd argue that Kavkazians, Turks, Israelis and even some (nowhere near most) Northern Iranians, Lebanese and Syrians are not too far off Spaniards and other far Southern Europeans in that regard.
