Euro mutt, here. Norwegian and German, mostly, and my grandparents gave my dad shit for not marrying a full-blooded Norwegian girl. Were they taking their ethnocentricity too far? Heck, my "purebred" dad had olive skin and people think my sister is Ojibwa. Where the heck did the dark skin come from? I have chestnut hair, pale skin and blue eyes. Most Norwegian-heritage "blondes" (I live in America's Norwegian Central) seem to have rat-colored hair, dishwater at best. There is something impermanent about blond hair . . . hormones quickly darken it. My blondness disappeared before kindergarten. Blondes ain't all that. Mourn the gingers.
