Caucasian =/= White.

The major components of Y-DNA haplogroups present in Morocco (E3b ; 94%) are shared with European and neighboring North African and Near Eastern populations. E1b1b1=93.8% Alvarez 2009 - Typical of people from the Mediterranean and North Africa. They are as Caucasian as the Spaniards are.

Really? This crowd is a bunch of Spaniards? Including those guys towards the back if you pause where I linked? And the other variety of Afroasiatic people shown throughout the entire scene? I mean, I have no doubt your science for Morocco is on point, but wherever a good portion of those extras come from, they are clearly about as "Spaniard" as I am (note: there are, of course, black Spaniards born and raised, but I don't think that's what you meant).

Have you ever been to Spain or Morocco?

Nope, and if you have and are about to tell me that those places are full of people who look a exactly like me and members of my family but aren't actually of any African (or Aborigine) descent at all, I'd be very interested to hear how that works. I don't mean that sarcastically, that seems to be where this conversation is going. I always thought Morocco had significant Afroasiatic contributions to the ancestry of the people there, but apparently I'm wrong?

Race, as a social construct, is not as set in DNA as a lot of people seem to believe. The boundaries are pretty gradual across Europe and Northern Africa, which is why DNA-based differences aren't as useful to discuss as cultural ones.

Hope that helps!
