>but hurr durr spaniards were niggers xD
It's even more retarded when you consider that the vast majority of Andalucians were just converted Iberians.
>'Ibn Hazm, the polymath, mentions that many of the Caliphs in the Umayyad Caliphate and the Caliphate of Córdoba were blond and had light eyes.[30] Ibn Hazm mentions that he preferred blondes, and notes that there was much interest in blondes in al-Andalus amongst the rulers and regular Muslims:'
>''All the Caliphs of the Banu Marwan (God have mercy on their souls!), and especially the sons of al-Nasir, were without variation or exception disposed by nature to prefer blondes. I have myself seen them, and known others who had seen their forebears, from the days of al-Nasir's reign down to the present day; every one of them has been fair-haired, taking after their mothers, so that this has become a hereditary trait with them; all but Sulaiman al-Zafir (God have mercy on him!), whom I remember to have had black ringlets and a black beard. As for al-Nasir and al-Hakam al-Mustansir (may God be pleased with them!), I have been informed by my late father, the vizier, as well as by others, that both of them were blond and blue-eyed. The same is true of Hisham al-Mu'aiyad, Muhammad al-Mahdi, and `Abd al-Rahman al-Murtada (may God be merciful to them all!); I saw them myself many times, and had the honour of being received by them, and I remarked that they all had fair hair and blue eyes.[31]''
We even have sources about some Ummayad rulers having pale skin, blue eyes and red hair because they were the offspring of Eastern European concubines.
Furthermore, if you want more information about this:
Exactly, as I said before, only between 25.000 - 30.000 moors came to conquer spain, and the majority left afterwards. Muslim women were prohibited to have sex with christians, only male muslims could do it, so the race mixing was not really significant.
