Hi Paul,
In the days when they constructed the Great Wall (what a weird project)
and the marble barge (what a boat! made of stone!),
the Chinese emperor was specifically worshiped by his own as
"ruler of the black-haired people."

At the same time, of course the result they obtained was periodic famine, war, binding women's feet, and technology that barely advanced on most fronts until the West tried to convert them to multi-ethnic appreciation. Of course, there is still time and the possibility that will happen. I don't think their stupidity on a few items is genetic, but just a phenomenon of primitive socialism and narrow-mindedness.
I notice that persons of all hair colors are capable of being short-sighted on various topics.

So, I agree...as Paul wrote:
"I wonder, What is it with this hair-color fascination?"

Warm regards,
Mike
