If you knew anything about me you'd know that I quite often correct people's misconceptions about race and ethnicity. Why are you responding to me as if I have a simplistic way of viewing this? I have studied race/ethnicity extensively and am well-versed in the subject. I challenge you to find something wrong with my statement that Spain is 90% "white" or more. I never claimed, nor would I ever try to claim, that all of the Moroccans or Latin Americans were not "white."

Don't jump to attack people so quickly.
Hey, don't make this about me. You are the one who insists on classifying people by race eventhough the last pages of this thread were about how people are not classified by race in Europe (except for the UK Census categories of "White British", "White Other", "Black African"and "Black Caribean).
Spain is probably 98% "white", what does that say about demographics/immigration though?

And I'm not arrogant nor did I attack you. As far as I'm concerned you are just parroting certain other people who called me that last week.
What I am is fed up with how it seemingly is impossible to have a normal debate on European issues on here.
Mention France and without failure you'll either see the words "socialist" or "riots" or both within a couple of posts. "Demographics" and "Europe" is an open invitation for some dude to show up claiming how "it's projected that Germany and Italy will have their populations plummet before 2050" (!)
Well that theory was proven wrong last year (Italy added 300,000) and we still have 43 years to go.
It's ridiculous...

I have nothing against you and I know of your connection with Spain, but why mention Spain is 90% white when that is totally besides the point?
