Despite that, I'm pale and blonde as they come, the Spanish gene must not have carried over.

It really just depends on where you are. In the north (Asturias, Basque Country, Cantabria, Galicia, etc) people tend to be paler than in the south but not always. Both sides of my family are from Asturias and I visit pretty often, people up there generally don't look as "Mediterranean" but I attribute it to the fact that the weather generally sucks and it can get cloudy often.
As for my family, most of them have light eyes and skin, parents included.

I was born in Southern California, to Mexican immigrants. I felt off compared to other Mexican-Americans even in the USA, most of them had norteño roots. I don't. I have dual citizenship and currently reside in the Mexico City megalopolis area and I love big city life. I'm bilingual, I used to speak Spanish at home and English in public when I was a kid, and I don't have much of an accent when speaking Spanish even if I do make grammatical mistakes from time to time. I don't like posting details that are too personal about me but I covered the basics.

Andalusian accents aren’t that bad, Cuban and Puerto Rican accents are like Andalusia but on steroids. I think they’re most closely related to Canarians though

I use "Hispanic" exclusively because Latino is somebody from the Americas, which I am not. I've always felt a subtle rift between myself and Latinos, especially in school and ESPECIALLY in Spanish classes.
I also have dual citizenship, which is pretty fire to be honest. I feel special when I can whip out my EU passport and go through EU customs whenever I visit family.

Just a question - and hope its okay to ask, I mean no disrespect by it - Why do you consider yourself Hispanic rather than European?
Do you feel an actual kinship with the Mexican, Cubans and other Latinos around you, or is it just common language link? What about Filipinos in the US, they are also Spanish speaking.
Conversely since Spain is in Europe, do you feel any affinity for other recent European immigrants? Or even other south European ethnicities in the US like Italian or French

The (North and South) American conception of Hispanic and Latin identity is a fabrication and dilution formed by colonial projection rather than organic generation. It functions as a bastardized substitute for the unique and beautiful Native American culture that was disgustingly destroyed.
