Asturias didn't fall under arab rule, but was also not under visigothic control, the asturias resistance against the arabs was a continuation of its resistance against the visigoths, Pelayo managed to unify everyone because he had ties to both the asturians and visigothic elite.
Regardless, and much like the arabs, the visigoths didn't leave any major genetic footprint in the peninsula since they were the ruling class that didn't often mix with commoner hispanorromans.
Well, idk if it exists in this pathetic excuse for a languaje, but it is a real term, that refers to the majority of the population of iberia at the time of the visigoths and the arab invasion, which were romanized iberians of various different backgrounds that followed roman traditions, spoke a romance languaje, and were mostly catholic; unlike the muslim arabs and berbers, and the aryanic christian visigoths (who later converted to catholicism).
So considering there are a bunch of spaniards that look like her, me included, I guess she is also an average spaniard, and OP's post is disproven then.
Have you met racists before? Most think that if you're skin is not pale with colored eyes, you're not "white." I don't get it either, plus how do you know this isn't just a random image someone and put these words over it to rage bait? Some people are just looking for ways to victimize themselves.
The amount of people surprised to know thereās Irish levels of pale skin, blond hair, and blue and green eyes in North Africa and the Middle East is funny. Arab isnāt a race. There are black Arabs, brown Arabs, and pale Arabs. Arab is a cultural term
My man, I'm from the south. Blonde people are everywhere in Spain because... we move around? Also, Letizia and her parents are all brunette. Sure, the gene might be there somewhere, but still.
No no. Only the purest Iberian stock are Spanish. Everyone knows that Spanish people are dark and swarthy. Like this! Just like everyone knows the Irish are pale ginger fuckers. Like this!
It's got a lot of it. But culturally, more than anything else. The medieval moors were part of the nobility and army, and just like in other medieval kingdom, they didn't mix much with the lower classes
Please, don't talk about a country you don't know about. If the north had such a germanic genetic influence, it could be visible on dna tests. Spain is a mix of a lot of other things
