Would it be simpler if Europeans were all blonde and blue-eyed?

[Tooting Carmen]

Given all the misplaced and disproportionate fuss and outrage whenever dark/exotic/ambiguous-looking Europeans are posted, e.g. here: https://www.theapricity.com/forum/sh...ek-young-adult and here: https://www.theapricity.com/forum/sh...octor-Spiriman

Well, wouldn't it be easier if we could institute a Europe-wide eugenics programme to make everyone blonde and blue-eyed, thus abolishing distinctions both between and within European ethnic groups?

what would be the fun in that, I think red hair and green eyes are cool too, and black hair with light eyes

[Blondie]

No, it would be boring.

No, it would be boring.

True, I am just being sarcastic and playing devil's advocate here. Still, the reactions in the threads I linked in the OP and other similar ones are as hilarious as they are disturbing.

Want an honest opinion? No. Also men look more masculine with black/brown hair or, in general, mediterranean looking. About eyes i don't care but i agree with Blondie it would be boring. After all Europe (and the World) is beautiful because diverse.

blondism is highly overestimated in Europe, including in the North. also, there's much more overlap between Europe's fringes and the Caucasus/Levant/Near East/Middle East/Central Asia (in Euopean natives) than Apricitans admit. and the "where do I pass" threads - Mediterraneans basically pass from Portugal to Iran at least, in general, while across the North there's a lot of overlap as well, with NW Euros passing better in the East than viceversa.

Europeans are much closer together genetically, culturally and in looks than they like to admit, and some nearby regions overlap to a degree with European border nations (Mediterranean region, including Balkans, mainly)

Maybe then everyone would get to the next level, and they would be fixated on who has Finno-Permic upper eyelids.

Given the rise of China as a global power and how it shall accordingly promote its beauty standards, maybe Western women will get surgery to shrink their eyes.

It would end these "I'm lighter than you" threads, but at the same time I like the European diversity, so I would be against this eugenics programs.

The truth is that this obcession with linking phenotypes/races/ethnicities with superiority/moral values is a sympton of insecure weirdos that attach themselves to collectivism.

Cristiano Veijo and some Italic roots members would have an orgasm.
