The question is, how many Spaniards can pass as British compared to ones who pass in maghreb?
To me I feel Iberian have their own look distinct from those 2 groups imo. So I wouldn’t say there is a lot. But I feel Spaniards and especially Portuguese passing as British is over exaggerated. London is filled with Spaniards and usually British people are able tell them apart from native Brits.

They still pass better as British, specially those ones from Northern regions with high alpine/atlantid influence.

Plus to what you said earlier, Armenia can technically be classified as European too depending on who you ask. After all they compete in Eurovision and play in the euro cup.

And yes, of course I don’t disagree there. But Spain collectively doesn’t pass as British as a whole. People always use the northern regions to explain that. It’s like saying all Turkish people pass as Balkan or central euro because there are Turks, especially in the west who have ancestry from balkans/Central Europe. Or it’s like saying all Azerbaijanis pass as Chechen because they have the Caucasian Albanians/udi people who are related to north caucasians. Back to Spain, especially in the west and south portion, you’ll find even less British passing people, just like in eastern turkey you will find less people passing in balkans, although some will pass there like @FUCKEEER

The only major real reasons you are seeing south euros getting trolled on these peculiar forums is because there are users who take them seriously and give them a hilarious reaction. Users like Cristiano Viejo, Gallop come to mind from theapricity. The other more minor issue is actual schizophrenic, weird people sheltered on the internet who convince themselves that phenotype subjects are an important and wordly discussion topic to base ideas about countries and their fellow countrymen. Example: Sikeliot, some italic roots members, some apricity members

No one actually cares in real life about these things. I do agree there is ignorance in terms of phenotype and genetics and that correlation in europe in discussion between normal people. But thats life, not everyone is a genetic nerd… for example, most normal people with some basic geographic and historical knowledge would “intelligently” say Andalusia and Algarve are very moorish people because of such a long time under moor rule, and south europeans in general are very dark because they are mixed with non europeans. Of course, most of us here know that’s not really true… and even when research like Olalde 2018-2019 comes out and exposes the truth of a east to west gradient differences in iberia, and more recently… a paper on iron age stability in europe showing new late-roman samples in central portugal already having some samples showing high nafri, and some samples with near to normal modern pt nafri all before moorish medieval times. The ordinary person will not piece the puzzles together. Thats reality.

I must be a genetic nerd, I try to put my viewpoints based on the latest studies, but I don't take them as fact until they have been corroborated, that goes for Olade or Reich. Firstly there is no one is the world who is pure and unadmixed. There are people who try to prove genetic continuity going back deep in time like the Youtuber called Iran Talks who proves to his satisfaction that this is the case with Iranian groups while he does the opposite with Greeks and Italians. Today in Europe, certain nations are more native European than others, that have had less non European immigrants, and others that have more like France, Britain, Sweden, Germany. It is to be expected that in time those immigrants will be absorbed into the native European population, and then France, Britain, Sweden, Germany will be filled with off White people. Southern Europe was the place to be for hundreds of years, non Europeans moved there, and some were absorbed. In Italy, there was an Iran farmer Neolithic component present among the Anatolian farmers from the beginning, that Iranian farmer component increased during the Imperial Roman age due to immigration, but only decreased slightly to modern times. Now if modern Italians having more Iran farmer ancestry than other European makes them less European, well, too bad. Many of todays immigrants are not West Eurasian like those Iran farmers but South Asian, East Asian and sub Saharan Africans. Now what is better, what happened in Southern Europe in the past or what's happening today? BTW, I am not racist.

I didn't say they weren't West Eurasian, I said South Asians, East Asians and sub Saharan Africans weren't.

Southern Italians do get trolled on TA but I am not so sure about the entire Southern Europe.

West Asians are constantly getting trolled by both South Europeans and South Asians on forums
It is usually South Americans/Mexicans trolling Iberians or Italians or some South Asians trolling West Asians, the majority of these people that trolls Southern Europeans aren't born in Europe, but ,sometimes, there are some balkanites trolling greeks, italians or albanians.

I don’t see it personally because I probably pay more attention to threads pertaining to west Asia, but I’ve seen on places like r/phenotypes that Latinos are accused of wanting to pass off Latin Americans as European. And I remember someone posted Spanish YouTuber illojuan and he was accused of being a Latin American wanting to larp as Spaniard when the guy is literally indigenous Spaniard.

This is the answer right here. I think people take things so seriously and get so emotionally invested, they do not see the forest for the trees, which turns a forum about genetic/phenotypic enthusiasm into something very insufferable and turns off a lot of normal people completely. Honestly, a few posters in The Apricity does give me Elliot Rodger type vibes.

I remember back in the day we used to have a lot of these "who is North African or Lebanese or Iranian" threads there, and people always got it wrong in their guesses. A lot of times, the picture posted for that ethnicity goes against the narrative some disturbed posters have, even if said person is very typical for that region in real life.

These type of threads aren't popular at all anymore, for obvious reasons.

Perhaps because south europeans are way more annoying (with their superiority mania) than Central/Northern Euros and at same time they are the most insecure when the subject is race/phenotype. Put into the account the intersection of phenotype with some non-europeans (they hate being compared with them, due to their self-hate).

That make them a good target for trolling.

Most of these trolls from these forums have very weird obsessions, i don't think any of them are happy, and i swear more than 80% aren't even living in europe, you were one of the most mentally healthy members from these kind of forums though. I am very glad i stop to post on these forums, full of insecure keyboard warriors that will try to do anything to make other people feel as miserable as they feel.

I am convinced a great number of members from that forum are lonely and desperate people that are trying to impress some women or even other men, if you notice how some of these trolls would show some very weird "undertones" when describing some phenotypes.
