What do Irish people look like, generally?

Ok, I have some things to say here about the spaniards.

FACTS!

Iberia were made up of three different peoples/groups. The Iberians (light skinned!!!! light eye'd and dark hair) The Celts! yes, Iberia had Celts in the north western part, some of the ancient names are also of Celtic origin. And The Gauls which were of germanic/french barbarians.

Celts were NOT like the Nordics. They were classified as an Alpine type race of dark brown or red hair, light skin and light eyes. Whoever said that Celts and Nords were of the same categorization needs to do ALOT more reading. They are NOT of the same breed/race bloodlines.

Also, I believe alot of you are ignoring the Iberian influence. Dark skin? Keep in mind that the Moors (North african arab nation) had conquered almost all of the Iberian peninsula around 700ad for at least 8 centuries!!! thats 800 years people! The dark skin is not of spaniard/iberian descendance, its of arab. Today's iberian spaniards look completely different to those of over 1,000 years ago.

Actually I have heard this before; the Irish language is very related to the Moors.

You can't be serious.
You really like the Irish accent???

Speaking as an Irish person, i feel I can criticise as much as I like.
I love the Northern Irish accent, but most other areas don't have a particularly nice accent as far as I know anyway! Maybe I just can't hear it because I actually am Irish.

Irish people stereotypically have red hair and freckles, but it's not half as common as it used to be. Most of them just look...normal.
