How frequent dark hair is in Italy.

totally irrelevant picture. small children are almost always blonde here, a.k.a "lintott" in swedish. saying very little about the adults hair colours.

Most of the posters here are American. White American.

The European posters merely try to correct common and stupid misconceptions.

The vast majority of Europeans don't give a rat's ass about eye or skin colour or genetics.

Not European, but race obsessed Americans

Exactly, (with the exception of Julia) it seems you just cannot fight stereotypical views.

Well I've only been to a couple of the larger cities (Stockholm and Copenhagen) but from my reckoning brown hair was at least as common as the various shades of blonde amongst Scandinavians. I would be surprised if any region in Scandinavia had >80% blondes unless they're counting the hair colour of people when they're children or a lot of people dye their hair darker.

Children and teens are too small to be used as examples.

I found another picture with one of the blondes you found attractive. I think you spot her:

the mc1r gene doesnt always show through. although you can be a carrier it doesn't you would look like a ginger in skin tone. i know many people who have tanned skin, dark hair and eyes and have ginger sibings, or a ginger parent. i have a friend that has a ginger faternal twin brother but he has dark hair and eyes and tanned skin and he is 100% irish and this was in ireland and this is comman for someone to be a carrier and not be pale so although 40% are carrier (although you wish ireland was 75% carrier they're not) not all will exhibit pale skin. so to say that this amount are carriers so this exact amount are type 1 or 2 is ridiculous because not even all of them show pale skin. ireland is 20% type 1 and 35% type 2 the 45% are type 3. in ireland its cloudy a lot so a type 3 may be pretty pale and can tan becuase that what type 3 is. but in ireland its cloudy so this person doesnt have a tan and from what i have seen and i can tell the difference between a fake and real tan. 20% of the 45% of the irish that can tan are tanned.

I don't wish, I know what I am talking about, it is a scientific proven fact. You are posting ignorant garbage.

Over 75% of the Irish people have "Celtic" complexion or skin tone. They are really pale, meaning they cannot or tan very little. At this frequency, it the double of the Northern European average.
This is supported by the Irish Ministry of Health and is also published in various medical journals.

Additionally 75% of the Irish population has one variant of the MC1R, while some 30% have two variants of the MC1R gene. A scientific fact also published in medical journals. I stick to facts and reality, while you're living in an illusion.

Ha!ha!ha!it is impossible for 45% of the Irish population to be able to tan well. 40% of Irish women get fake tans in the summer and are advised not to do it, due to the danger they are exposing their skin to develop skin cancers. If so many of the fair-skinned Irish people could tan, there would no need for such a high percentage to get fake tans. Facts are facts, that why I stick to them!
