Some Extramadurans, with beautiful dark hair, dark eyes and a nice complexion.

Definitely some ethnic groups in central Asia, such as Uyghur.

Italians etc. all look European no matter they are blond or brunette. Uyghurs can be anywhere from blond Russian looking to Iranian/Pakistani looking to typical Chinese looking. They all speak the Uyghur language.

To be fair, he didn't "hide" anything. He listed Spanish soccer players. They were all ethnic Spaniards who happened to have a diverse look.

Sure he did! He always does hide those whom we may identify as typical for Spain or any other Mediterranean country of Europe. It is a complex of inferiority.

You are the one who always cherry picks pictures of only dark Spaniards and refuse to aknowledge the diversity of looks in Spain.

Its really wierd.

No I do not cherry-pick! Rather I look for the majority phenotype which is darker than the average European. This doesn't stop Spaniards from being diverse. It seems many Spaniards have an inferiority complex for being more dark than the average European. There is nothing wrong with that!

The truth is that Italians look White irrespective of hair colour. Uyghurs look mixed-racially.

I'm not Spanish and I lived in Spain- I don't remember seeing very many dark skinned people. You are cherry picking. Are there dark skinned people in Spain? Yes. Do they represent the stereotypical look? No.

I also have a Spanish cousin-in law and Spanish friends, they look alot like soccer player Gerard Pique:

What about Gerard Pique? He looks very Southern European despite the fact that he would be somewhat slightly lighter-pigmented than the typical Spaniard. I am not Spanish either, but I went to Spain several times especially in the city of Valencia (Lovely place at the time). Spanish people I've known for the most part were dark very similar in pigmentation to the Extramadurans I posted, though there were some light ones here and there. They are similar to the Italians or Portuguese who are also usually dark too for the most part with here and there blondes and occasionally ginger-haired. Their women are naturally very beautiful in my opinion with a beautiful skin tone. I think they ought to be proud of themselves being sort of darker in comparison to most other Europeans. I never said that there weren't blondes in their populations, there are some here and there of course.


Proportion of blondes in Southern Europe is still higher than the world's average of 2%-3%.


Vitor Pessanha (Portugal)





1.) Portugal = 11% blond-haired


Greece





2.) Greece = 10.7%


Bulgaria



3.) Bulgaria = 10.5%


Spain





4.) Spain = 9.5% blond-haired


Italy





5.) Italy = 8.2% blond-haired
