According to Traveler's view there are neither dark-haired ethnic Germans nor light-haired ethnic Britons at all and if there are some individuals, those must be of some "foreign" descent (LOL @ Michael Ballack being "non-German" in ethnicity). What about Mats Hummels then? He is "all-German" and looks typically "Mediterranean". Or Lothar Matthäus, or that new young talent called Julian Draxler? Or the young Franz Beckenbauer? All native German football players with dark hair and "non-Nordic" features. It's obvious that you don't have any clue what you are talking about. Is there a psychological or personal reason for making the Brits more "dark" and the Germans or several Eastern European groups more "light" than they actually are?! Britons and Germans don't differ essentially in hair colour. Ask anyone who is British/German or knows both countries!
Germans are blonder overall, the pale skin, dark hair and light-mixed eyes combo is far more common in the British Isles. There are far more natural blonde women in Germany than the UK (Where I struggled to find one).

I'm Irish so you think you know better what Irish look like than I do? Even genetics doesn't agree with you. Post away as you know you cherry pick for your agenda but you have nothing to say when dna doesn't back you up? Why do you care so much about the Irish anyway?

What's Atlantid? An old anthropoligical term from the 20th century.

Kind of out of date don't you think now that genetics can tell us a lot more?

Atlantid race - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Here's some more Irish teenages with pictures taken outside. Irish people have very varied hair and eye colour.

Red hair is a characteristic Rib. Also common in Southern cointries but masked by black hair.

Oh please don't exaggerate! Red hair is the least common hair color, very rare outside of Northern and Western Europe! In areas below the 45 degrees North it becomes rare, at times exceptional. It's mostly found among white people of the British Isles, Scandinavia, Belgium, the Netherlands, northern France and Germany and in a particular region of Russia. Other European countries have a much lower frequency (around 1% or below). For the whole of Europe it is around 1.3%. Most common in areas of Europe which least sunshine and have rainy weather, where very light skin is quite beneficial for the absorption of Vitamin D.
