Are Nordic People Really the Purest?

[TechFin]

After much research on my own; it seems like Nordic people (North Europe; especially Scandinavia, blond and blue eyed, etc) are considered pure white.

A lot of people have said, people in South Europe look more like Arabs. I hear this a lot.

One encyclopedia I have, says Malta and Hungary, have Arab/Turkish in its population. I've been on East Europe dating websites, especially Ukraine and Russia, and so many women on them look part Asian. It's really obvious in many of them, while some looked flat out Asian.

So... are Nordics really the purest? I am asking this, out of my own interest. South and East Europeans, are never considered exclusively European? Only Nordics have physical characteristics, exclusive to that continent?

Yes, we are the purest. If you have brown eyes, you won't go to Valhalla.

I'm sorry, but that's life.

LOL!

What if you are a Persian with Blue Eyes!

[Dondergod]

That sound very logical to me.
Ireland and Scotland could also have very pure inhabitants? I don't know.

[Granraude]

Remember that Finns are also Nordic, but some consider them to be "unpure".

LOL!

What if you are a Persian with Blue Eyes!

Then I guess you would?

Good to know there is a loophole in the law.

LOL!

What about the Irish?

Both Odin and Thor are described as redhaired. So no. Lighter hair is just more prevalent further North, lack of pigmentation is the cause. Less sunlight.

Some of us also tan well some don't.

I personally burn like a something else where as both my father and my siblings do not and they are more red than I.

Oft it makes me wonder, are we the People of Colour?

Being partially Nordid is a strong sign of being Germanic.

Many Finns tend to be Finn/Nordid hybrids due to eastbound Vikings.

However, even in the Nordic countries, there are strong percentages of R1b and R1a.

Ireland is very high percentage R1b.

I have never heard of an original pure Nordid population, but it is possible.

Only old books by Romans and Greeks describing the northerners as blondes, as well as the Aryans of India, and the Alans.

The Eastern Siberians hair has stayed jet black, so there is something different about the Europids.
