while i agree that he doesn't look arab, but arabs can be blond, arabs can have colored eyes even if they're not mixed. not all middle eastern ppl have dark skin and black hair. source:I'm arab
grew up in the Middle East and most I've seen was light - sandy - brown, tho there usually was some foreign/French/swedish influence. Agree with the eye colours tho, seen some fascinating green, amber and even grey eyes... I've heard that apparently within the Yizidis, that have fled from Syria, some are blonde and blue eyed, but given their geographical location, I'd again say that's due to some foreign influence...
Plus, given that true blondes are rare even in Europe due to the blonde hair gene being recessive (thus losing out to brown, black and even red hair quite easily), and that according to science, the blonde hair colour is likely to die out earliest.....
fascinating, cuz as mentioned, in Europe is starting to be considered rare or outright identifies you as Scandinavian. tbh the reason I took notice was, that in my family there are just two blonde ppl - my sister and me (there is a blonde streak in the family, which continuously loses out to the dark hair, brown/green eyes influence however). And only she was/is called a "(true) blonde" becuz she exhibits those Scandinavian light, wheat blonde hair (in combo with the light blue eyes and paleness), whereas I am more "honey blonde" (with grey-blue eyes) and was only referred to as "dirty blonde" (if even)..... still useful for my parents, cuz in downtown Egypt/Libanon/UAE, we ALWAYS stood out from above thus easy to locate lol
I mean we could open that powder keg of Tunisia, Morocco and Algeria being North African and not really "Arab" as they're not located on the Arabian peninsular..... as a Moroccan lady reminded me this morning quite severly (we're talking about humour & food).
Or we could hash out what we actually mean by "blonde"... Scandinavian wheat blonde, aussie/american sun-bleached blonde, European winter/autumn warm blonde.... Claudia Schiffer vs Tilda Swinton vs Kate Upton vs Princess Mette Marit of Norway vs Adele vs one of the Skarsgard Brothers (tho there we can also go from light to dark - Alexander, Gustaf, Bill) vs one of the Hemsworth bros (light to dark: Chris, Liam & Luke).....
arabs are the most racially ambiguous people, some ppl look south asian, sone others look europeans even without having any european ancestry. it's been like this even before colonization. thousands of uears ago, there was a lot of colorism and the arabs with darker skin were deemed as ugly/unworthy and most slaves wete dark skinned even if they were arabs. blonde girls were considered to be prettier than others(I'm talking about smthg called the "ignorance" era in the arab countries so like thousands of years ago)









i love mc sm, I'm just fed up with righteous and kind mcs who "heal the broken and sad ml"kind of trope. if men are allowed and praised for being smart and cunning in business, then women should be too. i love her way of thinking rn bcz she needs this. she needs power. if you wanna gain money and connection especially in their age, that's the way to go.
