How do you say _ in Spanish?

Question

How do you say "You don't look Spanish, you look black" in Spanish?

Answer 1

In the 400s BC Carthage, an African city, conquered most of Spain.And, in 711 Muslims from northern Africa invaded Spain. So your friend could very well be Spanish.

Don't let the color of the skin fool you into thinking they, or their ancestors, couldn't have originated from Spain or its colonies. Don't forget that blacks were sold into slavery and sent to Spanish speaking counties.

Answer 2

I'm surprised anyone who would come to this forum would ask such a question

Answer 3

no mire de espana mire africana is literally you dont look spanish u look african??? maybe it will help  

Answer 4

RK has a good point. In Spanish, how do you differentiate between Spanish NATIONALITY and Spanish ETHNICITY? You can say "afroamericana" or you can say "de raza negra" when you're talking specifically about race in the US. The only trouble is, you can have an "española de raza negra¨--a black Spaniard. The only way I can think of to get around it would be the idea of "descendencia española, but there again, you run into the problem of the great grandparents' Spanish citizenship and the fact that that word includes both ideas. Personally, I could claim to be Irish, or Scottish, or English, or Welsh, or even German, because my ancestors came from those places, but here I'm still considered white/Caucasian.

It would be difficult to "call her out", but if that's what you want to say, then it would be "No pareces española, pareces negra."
