truth or myth?
Okay is it true that the Spaniard are mixed with the Jews and the Roma gyspies?
Okay is it also true some tribes in West Africa are the lost tribes of the Hebrews/Jews?
And the Cambodians. Their physical appearance differs quite a lot from the other Asians. Are they mixed with Africans or Indians from India?

Jews rarely intermarry. Neither do the Romany, but they probably left babies all over Europe, not just in Spain.
From what I've read, I think that "lost tribe" is a myth.
Asians are a race, but within that race there are separate ethnic groups who do NOT resemble each other physically. Vietnamese do not look like Koreans do not look like Cambodians do not look like Thai do not look like Chinese do not look like Japanese etc. etc. Look up "Occam's Razor" and apply it here. You're stretching for far too exotic answers!

Spaniards---no The spanish are a mostly celtic/mordic peopll;e descended from, among others the Vandals and several of the Gothic tribes.
African tribe lost Hebrew - still under investigation. There is a tribe in Africa that speaks Hebrew and practices the Jewish religion that has been shown to have geneticcomonalities to Middle Eastern Jews.
Cambodians - Never heard that one before and, having been there a few times as well as several other countries in Asia and South East Asia their appearance is as much Asian as the Chinese, Koreans etc. Their appearance is no more different than that of any other Asian from one another. There is little likelyhood that enough people from Africa or India had intermarried with Cambodians to alter the whole population's appearance.
So...there ya go....

thhe first two are true.
the third is actually the product of a lack of contact, and not so much mixed blood.
