Having grown up in a city with a substantial number of mainly second-generation immigrants from a variety of European countries, I’d agree with much of this. Almost all of the Lithuanians had blonde or at least light brown hair. The Portuguese and Albanians seldom had hair any lighter than a chestnut brown, though you’d see the occasional blonde in both groups. On the other hand, I’d have to disagree with the map when it comes to the Greeks and Italians, as light hair was not at all uncommon among either group.

Oh, from Andrew Sullivan. I look forward to his upcoming post on the correlation between lighter hair and higher IQ. It’s Science, you know!

I grew up in N. Wisconsin and thought that it was normal for blonds to make up about 50% of the population. When I grew up and moved from there, I saw that this was not so but now enjoy being a blond minority. On my first trip to N. Europe, I felt so much at home and fit right in, as long as I didn’t try to say anything.
