Lamine Yamal is NOT A Typical Spaniard

This pancocojams post showcases a YouTube video short about Lamine Yamal's DNA test results.
This post also presents selected comments from that video's discussion thread that explore what makes a person a Spaniard and what a Spaniard looks like. The narrator of that video postulates that Lamine Yamal's DNA results mean that he is different than the typical Spaniard. Some commenters wrote that anyone growing up in Spain is a Spaniard and to say that Lamine Yamal doesn't "look like a Spaniard" is just as foolish as the statement that a person doesn't "look like American". Other commenters disagreed with this position.
It should be noted that commenters who indicated that they had the same or similar DNA as Lamine Yamal (i.e. Moroccan. West African, and Northern African DNA) didn't agree with each other about whether a person with this DNA was a Spaniard if they were born or raised in Spain.

Thanks to Lamine Yamal for his accomplishments and his positive role modeling. Thanks also to all those who produces and published this video. Thanks also to all those who are quoted in this post.

INFORMATION ABOUT LAMINE YAMAL
From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lamine_Yamal
"Lamine Yamal Nasraoui Ebana[α] (born 13 July 2007) is a
Spanish professional footballer who plays as a right winger for the La Liga
club Barcelona and the Spain national team. Regarded as one of the best players
in the world, he is known for his dribbling and playmaking ability.[β]
[…]
Yamal has represented Spain internationally at various youth
levels, and made his debut for the senior team in 2023, becoming the youngest
player to represent and score for the country at age 16. He helped Spain win
their fourth UEFA European Championship in 2024, becoming the youngest player
to score in the tournament (age 16),[11] and was awarded the tournament's Young
Player Award. At the 2026 FIFA World Cup, Yamal scored Spain's opening goal of
the tournament and played a key role as they won their second World Cup title.
Early life
Lamine Yamal Nasraoui Ebana was born on 13 July 2007, in
Esplugues de Llobregat in the Barcelona metropolitan area in Catalonia.[12][13]
Yamal's father, Mounir Nasraoui, is from a village between Larache and Ksar
el-Kebir, Morocco[14] and his mother, Sheila Ebana, is from Bata, Equatorial
Guinea.[15] He has a compound given name to honour two family friends, Lamine
and Yamal, who helped his parents financially shortly before Yamal was
born.[16] As a baby he was featured in a 2007 UNICEF charity photo shoot with
his future club Barcelona, during which he was bathed by a 20-year-old Lionel
Messi. The photos went viral online nineteen years later as the players were
set to face each other as their nations' star players in the 2026 FIFA World
Cup final.[17][18][19]
An important figure in Yamal's upbringing was his paternal grandmother, Fatima, who migrated from Tangier, Morocco, to Spain in 1990.[20] Facing immense financial hardship, she worked to anchor the family in Rocafonda, a neighbourhood in the city of Mataró in Catalonia. When Yamal's parents separated during his early childhood, Fatima took on a pivotal role in raising him, managing his daily routine and ensuring he could attend training sessions.[21] Yamal started playing football at local club La Torreta in Granollers at the age of four.[22][23] His goal celebrations include a hand gesture indicating the number 304, the last three digits of the Rocafonda postcode 08304. Following his success, his popularisation of the number has been credited with bringing pride and recognition to the working class community of Rocafonda.[24][25]
At six years old, Yamal was scouted by Barcelona and was invited to training sessions at La Masia. He signed for the club in 2014 and moved to Barcelona to live and train at the academy.[26][27]”…

"@M0EMimouni that's nuts. I'm Moroccan born and raised in
Spain, I'm still Moroccan and will never be a Spaniard nor accepted by them. If
you're a Moroccan Muslim, you have no business claiming a western country as
your own. We're Amazigh people no matter where we're born our blood won't stop
being Amazigh"
-snip-
Here's some information about the meaning of the word "Amazigh":
From https://www.ebsco.com/research-starters/social-sciences-and-humanities/berbers
"The Berbers, also known as Amazigh or Imazighen, are the
Indigenous peoples of North Africa with a rich history that dates back to
prehistoric times. They inhabit a vast region stretching from Egypt to Morocco,
Algeria, and parts of West Africa. The term "Berber" originates from
Arabic and historically referred to foreign-language speakers, while the
Berbers themselves identify as Imazighen, meaning "free people." Over
centuries, they have maintained their distinct culture despite numerous
invasions, including those by the Romans and Arabs."...

"@Lubna-v3d
I know this. That doesn't compromise what I've said about Black Latinos. Furthermore, he looks indistinguishable from Black Latinos; therefore, I can understand if he's confused for one.
Thirdly, the player in question is not a Spaniard, but because he is a citizen of Spain, he is Spanish."

"Lol playing for country doesn't mean you must genetically
come from there like the whole world has gone through series of migration and
mixing especially the south America( Latin America) and The Americas itself
self. More the half of their population always trace to Europe and west Africa
with some minority local admixture of the indigenous people of that continent.
Messi would most definitely trace his ancestry back to Europe specifically
Spain or Italy. Donald trump himself Has Scottish and German parental lineages.
