Ryan has said:
I’m Mexican-American. My dad was actually born in Mexico. He was raised up there, and he came back and forth to America pretty much his whole teenage years. My mom is from Sacramento, Calif., and she’s a blonde-haired, blue-eyed girl. She’s a whitey. [Laughs]… I was born in Texas, but at a young age, I moved to Sacramento, Calif. I moved out to L.A. almost two years ago.

judging from that pic hes medium/coffee complected so definitely not anglo looking, not straight off the reservation either tho
neiltennant,
You are completely correct. Specially in Southern Spain or Central Spain he would be just like anyone else.
People have the most stupid misconceptions.
don’t know who the hell he is, but he’s handsome
He looks Puerto Rican, I can see some Black features on him. Most PRs have Black DNA.
You should had worked for GESTAPO hahah
He is not white, maybe he’s predominately white, but he would still face racism if he went to Spain.
don’t make me laugh
No he wouldnt. He is obviously a Mexican with A lot of Spanish blood. He most likely has at most 20 percent Native.
On second thought he can pass as Kit Harington’s brother. Most Mexicans possess a certain degree of Amerindian ancestry though even if they look/are predominately white. He maybe got his looks from his mother.
He is more white than most Spanish people ? Lmao you got to be a troll, ummm where in Spain did you go? Andalusia ? Like I agree that most Spaniards are not blonde but most Spaniards are definitely whiter than Ryan lmfao, I mean his one side is Mexican clearly there’s native somewhere in that side. Interested to hear where in Spain you visited though . You’re silly.
That’s because you were in southern Spain, Southern Italians, Greeks and Spainards has African and Middle Eastern descent.. “Mexicans” “Cubans” “Puerto Ricans” etc are Indigenous, Native American, Spainard and African (maybe french, Jewish or Italian as well). Some can be light some can be dark lol.
Yeah, right…I bet your ugly face makes you suffer more discrimination though
Pedro, what have I done to you? Far as I know you’ve never met me or know what my appearance is, I’d hate to a buddy of yours and I feel bad for your friends having a piece of —- in their life like yourself. Don’t come at me when I haven’t done anything to upset you. Back to my corner, and have a nice day.
Spanish people mostly have brown hair and brown eyes. There are a lot of blondes though, but minority.
His appearance is white to me. It didn’t occur to me that he’s even mixed or anything other than white. Maybe his Mexican side is also white. There are whites in Mexico but it’s not as prevalent as Uruguay (90% white) and Argentina. Brazil has 91 million whites and huge German ethnics, especially in cities like Rio and São Paulo in the South.
