I think you need to study up on your genetics a bit. Especially long term effects on populations, especially during periods of heavy migration across the globe like what is occuring now at unprecedented levels.

Excuse me, but I think you need to study up a bit, and explain how the hundred of million blond genes out there are gonna disappear. Shoot, even if you committed genocide against all blonds, there would still be hundred of millions of recessive blond genes out there waiting to reappear.

I'm blonde, blue eyes. Hubby has brown hair and eyes. Obviously, he has a gene for blonde (or red) hair and blue eyes (his dad had red hair and blue eyes) becauseall three of our children have blonde hair, 2 have blue eyes, the other brown. (If I remember from H.S. science, blonde is dominant over red) Anyway, seems to me, we had a 50/50 chance of having either, yet we ended up with 3 for 3.

You have to think on a large scale. The percentage of blondes on the earth has already decreased during the past several centuries. Recessive genes do show up, but the sheer number of dominant genes will eventually breed out the blondes, although a few may continue to pop up. It also depends on our future such as potential wars, plagues, and higher/lower child birth rates which will strike certain ethnic groups more than others.

I'm sure the death of the Jews in WW2 has had a similar effect on the present number of Jews in the world today, and that probably helped to decrease their numbers forever as a result. Not that they will go extinct, but it sure put a dent in their potential population.

Yep; after a thousand years blondes and blue eyes still keep popping up in the middle east, from prisoners traded during the "golden age" of Islam.
