Nowhere. They should have thought of that earlier.
Don't get it wrong. It is not as if anyone was saying that people should be purged or that marriages between different European ethnicities should be banned.

This has never been a problem in the past and it shouldn't be a problem today. However, it could be a problem if it happened in significant numbers. For example, in the case here of the English who are an ethnic group significantly different to the native Spaniards, they are significant in numbers, and they are taking local women.

The child of such a union is going to have his allegiances split. It is not an ethnically compatible union, in my opinion. And, the English having a very serious problem back at home, it can only get worse and help to spread the problem here.

Apart from that, I wouldn't oppose to compatible unions and on individual cases, but I wouldn't encourage them either.

I had one personal experience myself in the past, which was motivated by special circumstances. My ex, she was an Afrikaner from South Africa and we both lived in England. As time passed, the ethnic gap became more clear. Unconciously, I started doing something that I had never done before when being with another woman. So unconciously that I didn't even notice. It was her who told me, to my surprise. When passing near a Spanish woman, I would turn around to look at her even if I was going accompanied by my ex. She tried hard, observing patterns of behavious and fashion in the Spanish, and imitating them. But that just made it worse..
