He’s mostly European, but he still would have some Native American or African ancestry. Yes, there are hardly any pure Spanish Latin-Americans anymore. That’s a myth. All Puerto Ricans have some Native or black ancestry, and all Mexicans have some Native American ancestry, in general. Of course there may be some exceptions to this.
I doubt it. White Mexicans in the past probably used to be very racist.
he could be typical spaniard from Spain and seeing his background here, he could only have spanish backround (mexican-puertorican but with european spaniard background) so there is no doubt he is typical spaniard looking.
he fully spanish
Just look at his face if you have any doubt that the Visigoths have been in Spain … If he had blonde hair, he would look like a German or Danish
He’s Mediterranean like most Spaniards. Got nothing to do with Visigoths.
he looks spanish
he looks very Spanish in fact he looks Native Spanish like before the romans conqured Spain he defiantly doesn’t look Italian he doesn’t look like those Spanish people who can pass for Italian.
he could pass for italian
JJ. Most white italians(not those brown italians) tend to have big nose. He has the nose of a Dutch guy ;)
@euro
i can’t believe how incredibly ignorant and prejudice that comment is, all italians are white regardless of whether or not they have fair or darker beige skin, and italians can have small and big noses despite their complexion. Spaniards can have big noses too and this guys nose is not like a dutchmans, infact it looks slightly negroid influenced
he’s confused..but dont get in confusion with him: how is his nose negroid influenced?
it’s broad
broad where??

yeah you’re right it’s not broad actually, but his nose isn’t dutch
That might have been hard because Spain did not exist at that time. Those Spaniards that are famous in the USA are mosly mixed heritage. Some Spaniards of none mixed heritage: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/worldcup2014/article-2658483/David-De-Gea-ruled-World-Cup-group-stage-hip-injury-Spain-worry-Iker-Casillas-form.htmlheritage:Juan Mata(football player) and David delaGea
