Post examples of British people that wouldn't pass in Spain

[ecptr]

Spaniards should rather be compared to the French and Northern Italians, not the British.

Spaniards are darker than Southern Italians

Especially alnortedelsur seems to be obsessed with this.

In defense of him, no he isn't. Rather, he (1) gets fed up with Spaniards being portrayed as no different to Maghrebis and (2) also rightly states that, in comparison with other Europeans of a similar latitude, the British themselves are actually quite brunet.

As I said in a previous post, the majority (60%) if they pass for Spanish, not average or typical but they will be among the Iberian spectrum, that is to say that they will not be automatically taken as foreigners in Spain, then if there are many with they are impassable or almost impassable Rupert type Grint, for example, that perhaps there will be some Spaniard similar to him, well, it could be, but as I said previously, almost no Spaniard would think that he is, He will be the typical one who will not believe that he is Spanish, just as happens to people like Alex Porro and Busques. Inma Cuesta etc... they may be Spaniards of 10 generations, but they simply do not fit into the Iberian spectrum

Busquets types don't look Spanish at all tbh, they clearly look Mena mixed.

I remember a councillor thread you posted, I did a count and remember saying that nearly 10% would pass unoticed in the UK.

10% seems about right, I can think of Salgado and Robbie Savage looking like brothers, Olmo looks a bit like Crouch but not many more than that.

That's literally me saying that he doesn't look Spanish. But there may be people like him in Spain who are 100% native (at least in the past 4 generations) even if they are 1-2%. The same thing I imagine there will be 1-2 % Spaniards like Rupert Grint, but they are very atypical

I think that in part it is because there are many Spaniards, especially the Galicians and Asturians who believe they are very Celtic and have British features, but it is not all like that in real life.

Celtic hahahahaha, ahahahaha

Now, the thing is true that there are some similar traditions with Celts, for example drinking cider, but on the other hand they are the same as the other Spaniards physically and the majority of traditions are also the same and the language is Latin, not Celtic. In addition, the Galicians and Portuguese are very collectivist, on the contrary, the British are generally very individualistic. But even so, many make mental jokes that they are descendants of Celts, Visigoths, etc. Because they have 20-25% of "light" phenotypes that are also present in the rest of Spain.

It's funny, even their bagpipe music doesn't sound that Celtic, as for the whole redhead thing I can say that it is maybe 1or 2% more common than the rest of Spain but that still means that no more than 1% or 1.5% are redheads.
