I have read that in colonial times the american whites or criollos were angry every time a ship with spaniards 'peninsulares' came to the americas; they were bothered by the 'super-whiteness' of peninsulares in comparision with them.

But spanish recent immigration to the americas were from all over spain, galicia, canary islands, andalucia, navarra, catalonia... every corner sent people to america.

I don't know if it's imaginary or real, but among the living spaniards today, the young generations are taller (this is a fact) and lighter (my impression) than old generations. Even blondes blue-eyed old men/women seem like darker and less progressive (like in progressive people thread) than youngs, no matter if blonde or brunette.

Improvement in quality of life I guess.

Here are some photos of 50'.
