I am aware of that. I know the history of that part of Europe. I used to live there. I know that people in different parts of Europe look different. I am not asking why this is the case. I was just trying to see if the commenter thinks that all darker-skinned Europeans are not white, or JUST Spanish people, or just people descended of moors, or if just blonde haired blue eyed people are white. They said they wouldn't consider Spanish people white because "they" are dark and I was more trying to point out that not all Spanish people are that dark and the "darkness" extends beyond just Spain. They replied that Spanish people are dark like "Mexicans or Turks", and that only super pale skinned Northern Europeans are white to them. I am Spanish on the other side of my family and they are white, I look white like them, and have to spend a lot of time explaining to other Americans that not all Spanish people look "like Mexicans" and that "hispanic" isn't a racial classification. There is a great deal of racial/ethnic/cultural diversity across the "hispanic" category and a lot of people do not realize that. I'm tired of people telling me what race(s) I am.
