Adventures in Spain

Ethnicities

So in America, everyone is American. We may break it down a little further along very blatant lines into categories of Asian, Hispanic, and Black, but we don´t see much beyond that. Here you start to pick out people´s ethnicities. German, Mediterannean, Nordic, Turkish, Asian... It´s cool. The Germans are the ones I mistake most often for Americans. The Mediterranean people tend to be shorter, with darker skin or hair. The Nordic people tend to be taller. Once you start to notice things like that you can actually look at a person and make a guess about their ethnic background. Very different from Georgia.
