Why do people insist that Germans are blonde haired and blue eyed?

[Smeagol]

What is this bs? True Germans are dark. Germanic is an Indoeuropean language group that came with dark R1b.

The Romans always described them as blond and fair. Haplogroups are not associated with physical features. But then again, you think dinosaurs never existed and that the earth is flat, so that's probably beyond your level to comprehend.

Romans called everyone North of them Germanics and didn’t care if they were multiple tribes or not, like many people today do with Africa when it’s the most diverse continent with 50+ countries . They are blond and fair and Nordic not Germanic

Feels like no one can grasp simple logic here and you’re the captain of that ship

Non-Europeans are such mental defectives. Germanic is a language family and Nordic people speak a Germanic language.

The Germanic countries are the countries with still high rates of haplogroups I1, so it is normal to find phenotypes with light eyes and fair hair.

Hair and eye colours are not determined by haplogroups.

Germanics are mainly dark haired and dark eyed (eyes could vary).

The word Germanics came from the language which came as an Indo-European language and so the R1b haplogroup. Scandinavians who are blonde and blue eyed and I1 are Nordics but back then Romans called everyone North of them Germanics without making any distinctions and thus Scandinavians also got branded Germanics when they’re not. The confusion is going on till this day with people saying blonde and blue eyed is a Germanic trait which again is false it’s a Nordic trait

Calling Scandinavians proto-Germanic is false because Germanic came from R1b dark haired man which then was the language of the region they’re the original Germans

Also Rathlin the Bronze Age Bell Beaker had light brown hair and he was R1b. Bell Beakers who were mostly R1b would have had varied hair colours because as everyone that understands genetics knows that ydna does not have genes for hair and eye colour. Things like hair and eye colour are contributed by multiple genes and are inherited from both parents. As I've explained previously for someone to have red hair for example they have to get the genes from both mother and father. The same with things like eye colour as in blue eyes you have to inherit the recessive genes from both parents. Simple genetics.

What is this bs? True Germans are dark. Germanic is an Indoeuropean language group that came with dark R1b. Blondes are Nordic. It’s like an Indian bringing Hindi to Canada and 100 years later a Chinese is called Hindi because he’s from that area and speaks it

Well, I'm obviously trolling.

Germanics probably got their lightest traits from SHG.

From there on, there is a stereotype in Greece.
You would hear "This guy is blonde like a German" or "This guy is blonde like a Swedish". You wouldn't hear this for British or Russians for example although they are considered blonder in general.

There was a slight distinction of Bavarians in older times but it mostly related to politics and social attitudes.

That's not true, otherwise, there wouldn't be so many different tribe names that people haven't yet decoded (Goths, Saxons, Vandals, Franks, Marcomanni...).
Same thing later with Slavs.

I think they were troll threads, if not he's suffering from brain damage.

A significant part of Germans is blond and blue eyed the pure proper very light blond as you find in some Scandinavians is not that common in Germans as in some North Euros though

From past journeys through Germany i feel like the swarthiest regions were Rhineland and Schwarzwald the rest is lighter.

You are spot on! Rhineland is the least blond-haired region in Germany perhaps only Lusatia, Saarland, Frankish Bavaria may rival it!
