ORIGINAL: Termyn8or "Muslim Scholar Celebrates Extinction of 'Blue Eyed,... " First of all, they are not extinct by any means. Less in number of course, ... Do you mean Germans as such, or blond Germans in particular? Btw rather not less in number both groups. Pre-war Germany had about 80 million, present Germany about 82 million inhabitants. Percentage of blond hair more or less constant at 30-40% (blond hair often changes with age to darker, not counting dye ...) The blond and blue-eyed average or predominant was and is a myth based on, ironically, theories of a French and an English (no, not "scholar" ... looney) Gobineau and Chamberlain. Germans were never all blond, percentages declining further south (as everywhere in Northern/Central Europe) There was a popular joke in war time Germany about the future ideal German (which could get one in real trouble): blond like Hitler, movable like Goebbels, muscular like Göring
