Regardless they were nothing like the "celts" that inhabit Ireland, Scotland and Wales, if the average Scotsman visited Galicia they would get a bit of a culture shock, things are just different there while Wales, Cornwall even are just more similar even when it comes to cuisine, sport and music.

I don't think most look like like Arabs, with the exception of one, can y'all tell me which ones look Arab to you?
Don't be blinded by the skin tone:
(Most likely even lighter than that)
(Do not DM me asking for classifications, please)

Another forum scholar. No physical anthropologist has claimed Iberians have an Arabid phenotype. The phenotype of Arabs is drastically different than that of Iberians.
Iberia was conquered predominately by Berbers led by a minority of Arabs. Except for the elite in the early centuries of Moorish covilzation in Spain Arabs weren't a significant population. Even Berber phenotypes don't show up in Iberia.
'But... but.. Iberians are swarthy!!!!'
They always have been. Even the Roman's referred to Iberians swarthy.
The level of ignorance astounds me. Read a book.

The Mediterranean race was said to stretch from Iberia and Morocco to India, as Coon said:
"This third racial zone stretches from Spain across the Straits of Gibraltar to Morocco, and thence along the southern Mediterranean shores into Arabia, East Africa, Mesopotamia, and the Persian highlands; and across Afghanistan into India. This zone is one of comparative racial simplicity. In it the brunet Mediterranean race lives today in its various regional forms without, in most cases, the complication of the Palaeolithic survivals and reëmergences which have so confused the racial picture on the ground of Europe itself. Only in the mountains of Morocco and Algeria, and in the Canary Islands, is such a survival of any importance. The Careful study of living populations of the Mediterranean race in its early homelands will do much to simplify the task which lies ahead."
