Is that so? Hmmm... I see them nearly every time I'm in a place with more than a couple of dozen people.
Must be the region you're in. 🤔 Would need lots of Northern Europeans, so that fits.
my hair is pretty much silver now but i was originally bright blue and dark brown, and olive skin
in eastern europe blue eyes and dark hair is common... but they aren't as fat because the balkans diet is actually good for you, lots of milk and meat
Yeah, the women in my family often have that Slavic combo, but he's in the USA.
well, some places have a lot of poles and serbs and such, but yes, not very widespread
Even among them, it's a minority.
in yugoslavia it's probably about 30% and there is a lot of blondes there as well, and a small population of reds
yeah, it's not even accurate to call it a minority... in the balkans there isn't a majority of anything as far as ethnotypes go, it's the most mixed ethnicities in a single countrty anywhere, this is part of the reason why they have a very different view of government there, because such diversity combined with "representative democracy is a failure in bulgaria, about 10% are turks, 15% are cigani, about 20% are russian type, if not recent immigrants as you find in the east, about 30% are the classic dark hair dark skin, and about 25% are the dark/blue and redheads... there is even a tiny number, maybe 1-2%, of people with literal afro hair, and a lot of them have blue eyes (one of my best mates was like this)
