Dianavan and Janie: Blondes are racially from the Germanic and Scandinavian peoples. Where else would they be from?

How can anyone justify classifying peoples with brown skin as a group, and not classifying peoples from a limited area of western Europe the same way?

They haven't been enslaved nor discriminated against because you would have to defeat them in battle to do it. The only brown(ish) people who even came close were the Moors, who got well into France before they were driven back. Perhaps you should ask a Spanish historian how they behaved, while they were there.

I have read that blondes fetch a good price in the Middle East, though. Don't know if it's still true. It used to be.
