It's not about if they wanted to mix with them or not, historically the conquering force didn't necessarily respect consent, the natives of the americas didn't want to mix with Spaniards either but that didn't change the outcome - of course the Muslims rulers of Iberia weren't as ruthless on the people they conquered unlike the conquistadors but don't down play 7 centuries of shared heritage and intermingling with the Muslim world, it's giving "white supremacist" - your self-value and identity isn't determined by how purely European you are. Christiantiy itself came from the middle east. Jesus was a semite like Muhammad.
7 centuries of war

i know chrisitianity is from middle east but i'm not even christian not even my parents are and im glad that i would visit alhambra this summer with my dad i want to see that romanic arabic mix in that estructure.



the conquest of America was possible by the helps of native americans and the diseases. 500 Spaniards led by hernan cortés can't conquer what is today mexico. if the natives that helped the spaniards their conquests didn't wanted the spaniards there they could perfectly expelled them.

Your comparing apple to oranges here. Also you just said the only Spanish you seen are Latin American. But Latin Americans is a melting pot a big mix bag. While for Latin Americans as we can see most of us are mixed race. With some being predominantly Euro and others Amerindian and others black.

Latin Americans are diverse. A big mix bag.

It’s true, he ain’t downplaying it. It’s just facts. We can see that in DNA results.

I have seen Andalusians in person and I shouldn’t be surprised but I was kinda surprised how they don’t look much different from other Spaniards.
Yeah but genetics isn't the only determinant of identity and cultural influence, there was over 7 centuries of cultural influence from the Muslims of North Africa - that can't be negated. I'm aware Andalusians may not look that different from other Iberians although there are people like Nadal that exist and there is definitely some over lap to my outsider eyes between Iberians and Northwest Africans, Yacine Bonou and Cesc Fabregas wouldn't stick out in each others countries. Also Galician and Basque nationalists do insist on their distinctivess from the Castilian/The Madrid state, it may not be genetically based but a cursory google search can show you how they portray themselves vs the rest of spain.

They call those 7 centuries the Golden age, it was more peaceful than the conquest of the americas by europeans, if you're say the Spaniards couldn't conquer the americas without local collaborators then the same could be said about the Moorish conquest of Iberia, in fact all invasions are only successful with some native support, invaders always exploit existing fault lines Personally do you think Spain has more in common with Morocco or Norway? Be honest.

Yeah but religion doesn't matter here especially considering both Norway and Spain aren't even religious countries anymore, otherwise South Sudan and Samoa are also Christian countries and even more religious. Even most Scandinavians would probably think Iberians have more in common with Northwest Africans than with them.

Yeah but genetics isn't the only determinant of identity and cultural influence, there was over 7 centuries of cultural influence from the Muslims of North Africa - that can't be negated. I'm aware Andalusians may not look that different from other Iberians although there are people like Nadal that exist and there is definitely some over lap to my outsider eyes between Iberians and Northwest Africans, Yacine Bonou and Cesc Fabregas wouldn't stick out in each others countries. Also Galician and Basque nationalists do insist on their distinctivess from the Castilian/The Madrid state, it may not be genetically based but a cursory google search can show you how they portray themselves vs the rest of spain.
Have you ever seen North Africans in person? I have and I
Definitely see the difference between North Afeicans and native Iberians. 1. The average North African is darker than olive skinned. They are like Gypsies in skin tone range and in phenotype they overlap more And the Moroccan that don’t look SSA admix, they are olive skinned that look closer to a Sephardic Jewish Spanish or something.

Benzema he could pass for Spanish with some Gypsy admixture. He could pass in Southern Europe, no doubt. Second he ain’t the typical North African. But he does look like the North Africans that are in charge of in a local store where you buy water, Coca-Cola drinks, etc. for some reason.

The North African I see working selling shirts look more like gypsys and are more “brownish”.

yeah My Great Grandma(West Middlands, Northumberland minor norwegian) was british later im 1/16 North Italian(possibly southern too but not confirmed) 1/16 polish minor french and the rest is Iberian

I have a big family tree :)

My Iberian side, is Mallorcan, Basque, Andalusian, Aragonese, Galician and some southern portuguese (from my andalusian side)

Watch these videos of mine. The Spaniards don’t even look that much big difference from the French, in terms of appearance and skin tone:
I recorded these: The only thing I will tell you, the French have bigger noses (Dinaric) and have more round face (alpine) types. In Spain you do find those types to but not really Alpine, not common.

Paris north of France

More likely to southern frenchs for sure you know the north they have more germanic ( there's probably some overlap ) like ancestry while the south is Gallo-roman like or basque like

i was only in southern France one time

I pass threw southern, to get over there, and yes I saw the overlap more with native southern French people, they look more Atlanto Mediterranean with Baskid/Dinaric types, they had dark hair overall. Dark brown with some black hair.

I saw some blacks in southern France and Paris but not more like you see in the U.S. in the U.S you see more blacks in the streets of L.A etc.

France is still very white, not like how the media portray it as very black. xD

More likely to southern frenchs for sure you know the north they have more germanic ( there's probably some overlap ) like ancestry while the south is Gallo-roman like or basque like

i was only in southern France one time
I saw a Iberian couple in Paris a Galician with his Basque wife. We was walking together for a bit to go to torre Eiffiel

I pass threw southern, to get over there, and yes I saw the overlap more with native southern French people, they look more Atlanto Mediterranean with Baskid/Dinaric types, they had dark hair overall. Dark brown with some black hair.

I saw some blacks in southern France and Paris but not more like you see in the U.S. in the U.S you see more blacks in the streets of L.A etc.

France is still very white, not like how the media portray it as very black. xD
Specially Dinaric is what i saw a lot among french people i had a teacher that was literally textbook Baskid with blue eyes he really looked southern french he was full Mallorcan.
