Across Europe, do the wealthier classes tend to be lighter-haired/eyed than the poorer classes?

In another thread, I noticed Spanish user Duffmann said in passing that, even in Europe - let alone South Asia or Latin America - the wealthier classes tend to be fairer in pigmentation than the poorer classes. Is this true?

Idk, I assume its like that in South Asia due to makeup or some other alteration, at least in MENA it doesn't seem to be this way

No? Aren't the upper/upper-middle classes lighter-than-average there too, e.g. the Assads?

I don't see it here.

Well, Assad is just one example. In Egypt, Iraq, Saudi, Iran the leaders tend to be average, sometimes darker

Saddam's wives were quite fair, as was Arafat's wife. Queen Rania of Jordan is part-American.

probably it's true about Latin America, because darker people are amerindian (who have been submitted by white colonials) and Black people (who were enslaved by white colonials) ....although we are in the XXI century, wealth is still in the hand of the white descendants of European settlers.

About Europe:BULLSHITS, there aren't any distinctions with the exception of immigrants (who come mostly from Africa and Asia, so they are usually darker than native Europeans).

I didn't notice such thing so I'm not sure.
