But you dont see it happening among "germanics", swedes, danes, norwegians, dutch, northern germans with hair darker than light/medium brown are uncommon, even darkbrown is not that common (naturally) in those places, let alone black hair.

Most southern europeans seem ashamed of having dark features, they always define themselves lighter than they really are, always when you say most spaniards,italians,greeks etc have black/dark brown hair, they will tell you they just have plain brown. You dont see real blondes in spain, there is only like a 7-8% of spaniards who are blonde and they dont look like lara stone or ronald koeman type of blonde, but rather like spanish actor "jaime olias" who would be just considered a light brown haired guy in countries like sweden or the netherlands or even in central europe.

I guess you must be somebody with a challenged ethnicity. Nobody in South Europe is ashamed of having black hair, this is the most idiotic thing I have ever read in years. And yes, there are real blondes in Spain, myself included, and my bother is redhaired and we have been here during thousands of years, we are not colonials or resettled people that call themselves "white" and they don't even know what they are. Again, Spain is not Mexico, where a few North Spanish and Jews control the country and everything is measured according to European features, there are no Spanish "cholos" and no Spanish ethnic minorities.

Most Russians here are Caucasians, it seems they are loaded.

Americans were once Europeans that became tribal in the New World, hence their obsession with "tribal features". In fact, western Europeans were like that before Romans turned them into citizens.

[quote=Don_Caballero;26389424]My point is the quantity, how many are that blond in spain? you can also post examples of blue eyed indian people, does it mean most indian (or even a considerably part of them) have blue eyes? No.

There is also spanish sportman kiko vega, but who many of those you see in spain? I bet they are not even the 1% of ethnic spanish population. Thats why everytime you see spanish people posting the supposed "blonde spaniards" or "spanish are also white european", etc on youtube they often post nearly exclusively women with supposedly "natural" blonde hair", when on reality nearly every one of them are either bleached dark brunettes like the woman from the picture above or either barely medium/lightbrown in the case they havent their hair dyed. They don't do it with men because men rarely dye their hair compared to women, hence they should post all the time the couple of few dudes with 100% ethnic spanish heritage who have real blond hair.

protest in cataluña:

How many blondies are there?

There are regions in Spain with a rather large percentage of blondes such Cantabria, Northern Catalonia, parts of Galicia, regions of Andalusia and a large etcetera. Most of those people in the pics are leftist students from the public education system, most probably from southern Andalusian stock.

But here nobody pays attention to such things since there are no minorities.

Well it's a different story then - black hair/brown eyes is a typical feature for Caucasians. For Russians it's definitely not.

You are implying that all Russians are slavic, when Russians are an ethnia as most European nations.

Yes, all Russians ARE slavic, but the country's population indeed includes all kinds of ethnicites.
Back in Soviet times ( when the nationalities were indicated in passports) it was an easy distinction between being a "Soviet" - meaning citizen of the Soviet Union and "Russian" - meaning ethnicity.
With different Republics gone, ( yet ethic population still remaining in Russian Federation,) Russians started making a distinction between "Rossiysky" - meaning any citizen of Russia and "Russky" meaning ethnicity. I don't see any particular equivalent ( any adequate translation) into English so far.

You have to be careful of the term you use: "citizens of Russia" (multiethnic) vs. "Russians" (referring to a Slavic ethnic group). All citizens of Russia (Rossiiskiye) are not Slavs. All Russians are.

I'm Indian (from India) and have generally been treated with more interest in Europe than in North America (one exception is the U.K).
It's very interesting. I'm married to a French person. In Canada, people don't give a **** about me but they go all gaga over her accent, clothes, etc. In Europe, it's the other way around.

Overall, I find Europeans more friendly than Canadians. Canadians on the other hand are more polite and courteous, but less friendly, than Europeans.

But that's quite senseless, now Russia is only Russia.
