You are scientifically aware that Brits are descendants of Spaniards … Ancient Spaniards I’d like to say .
That’s rubbish. I don’t know why people keep posting that. What study are you citing that says that Brits are descendents of Spaniards? The most up to date study on genetics for Britain is the PoBI study. You can read some of the details here.
http://www.peopleofthebritishisles.org/nl6.pdf
Here is an abbreviated article of the above study for anyone interested.
“The first wave of arrivals crossed by land bridges, when sea levels were so low that Britain was attached to what is now northern Germany. This wave was dominated by people with genomes most similar to modern-day inhabitants of northern Germany and Belgium. In parallel, migrants from the west coast of France were arriving by boat. Traces of the combined DNA from all these three pioneer settlers forms the basis for the genetic-make up of all white Britons.
Given the cultural significance of the Roman, Viking and Norman invasions, it’s surprising they didn’t leave greater genetic legacy. For the Romans and Normans, that may be because they were ruling elites who didn’t intermarry with the natives.”

I think he looks like a Brit too, but that just shows the shared western European ancestry
@Neiltennant Brits/Irish originally share DNA with the Spaniards, do some research.
You need to do some research yourself. I’m wondering if people are citing that old study on ydna by Oppenheimer which has been shown to be completely wrong.
The gentleman above doesn’t look particularly British to me. He looks like he could be from a number of European countries.
you don’t know many Spanish then
Looks all spanish, Italian…
He is criollo of Spanish ancestry in both sides, so he is white. He and his brothers looks like typical spanish brothers.
