That video posted here on the "truth" of Spanish DNA is rather misleading. It states that the Spaniards, according to these reliable DNA tests, show no racial connection to the Phoenicians and Carthaginians. This is absolutely false. Bill has proven over and over again from ancient records that these peoples were among the first to settle Spain. So if the Spanish don't have any Phoenician blood, how reliable are those tests?
Either way, DNA tests are not reliable, as many will show false-negative and false-positive results. How is it possible that modern Spaniards have only 1% Celtic admixture? How can they tell the difference between Celtic and Phoenician? This is absurd, as they are genetically closely related.
As the video rightly points out, Spain was the dominant country in Europe--600 years ago, but it fails to explain the decline of their empire. How does such a dominant culture and capable people fall so far? I guess they just mysteriously decided not to compete with the rest of Europe anymore. Something fundamentally changed with the Spanish people. What caused Portugal's decline? It doesn't just happen.
We can cherry-pick White-looking non-Whites all day long to prove our point--that you often will be misled by your eyes into thinking someone is White. As Joe pointed out, you have to take into account the history of a country to guide us--that's being responsible.
I'll be the first to admit I can have trouble separating the Wheat from the Tares, and because of that, I choose to err on the side of caution when choosing a prospective mate.
This little girl is blonde-haired, blue-eyed--and Syrian. Would you allow her into a Christian congregation based on her appearance? If she were in Spain, would you consider her a "White" Spaniard?
