Spanish people are genetically grouped with Northern Italians (the reason why Roman samples are grouped with them), they and other Mediterranean peoples were the first Europeans to invent the concept of Whiteness for being neighbors of North Africans and Middle Easterners. The first to have contact with Sub-Saharan Africans and Amerindians, hence concepts such as Limpieza de Sangre, Leyenda Negra, Casta, Gente de Razón and the word Nigger comes from Negro. The British Colonies tried unsuccessfully to copy the Spanish model in America at first since there were no contemporary Amerindian civilizations there to control and their colonization was more based on Private Companies than the Crown Companies because of the Constitutional/Parliamentary Revolution.
