He definitely has European blood.
Definitely white or at least predominately.
he look spanish
Looks 1000% white and he’s actually whiter than the average Iberian.
I agree
just because u think Melanie Iglesias can pass for an “Andalusian” woman
Melanie is obviously mixed with Asian, she does not look Spanish at all.
Too bad you’re using this site to spread your ignorance instead of using it to learn something. And since this guy’s last name is Rodriguez, is pretty obvious he got his “whiteness” from an iberian ancestor. So congratulations, you’ve made a fool of yourself not once but twice.
I agree he is white
Looks can be deceiving. Many mixed race Latinos who happen to be on the lighter end of the spectrum can pass for White.
no he doesn’t look “whiter than the average Iberian” in any way, he literally looks JUST as white as the average Iberian and slightly darker than the average northern Iberian
