Betting all of those things make your teeth pretty American, no matter what a study using obsolete racial categorisations from the 18th Century says.
They're not actually obsolete, though. They are literally proven to exist, as evidenced by bone, dental and genetic records. You're just talking shit.
They are obsolete, and have been proven to be so. You're just desperately googling any study that talks about racial differences and acting like it proves that your specific conception of race is real, but study of the human genome has shown that the genetic diversity of the human species does not line up with the racial categories we use in society, and certainly not with racial categories from the 18th Century. That's why the studies you find are random mad shit about teeth or foxes.
Everything else you say is just cultural consumerism. With access and time, anyone can eat, drink and speak anything.
Yeah, but here's the thing, people don't have unlimited time and access. So their teeth reflect the environment in which they live. You live in America. Your teeth aren't European, they're American, because you're drinking American water and eating American food and using American toothpaste and visiting American dentists.
Hey, I spent a year in China and got a citizenship, now I'm Chinese! I lived in Nigeria, now I'm Nigerian! I went to Antarctica, now I'm a penguin! It's all just arbitrary consumerism with no substance, whereas my ancestry is biologically identifiable.
What's identifiable is whether you brushed this morning.

You are a racial immigrant. You are not European, nor Spanish. You don't look Spanish and don't have Spanish blood. I could move you out of Spain for 10 years to somewhere else and then you'd have a new culture. Who you are is more than just where you are. If I take an ancestry test, it will have Iberia in it. I can step foot into Spain and instantly look more Spanish than you, because I am. You're not Spanish and nobody but those simping for brown people will say otherwise. Shit, if you were to die, your bones could be examined an identified as African
.
I remember hearing about one of those ancestry tests who got a call from a customer who was waiting on his results, desperate to know if they found any African DNA, because he was a big racist. So the ancestry people, for the lulz, included "<1% North African" in his results. Just to fuck with them.
The moral of the story is that some business claiming it can tell you that you're Iberian is just chatting shit to part you from your money.
