There are brown haired Dutch, blue eyed Italians, and Africans that are white...I don't know if someone can say a certain look is associated with a lot of places anymore except maybe places like China and Japan, and not even Japan from what my sister says (she lives there).

I've seen dark skinned brunettes and fair skinned tow-headed blonds who were full siblings. I know a set of twins where one looks as "mexicano" as can be and the twin sister is blue eyed blonde --- and the parents call her the "anglita" --- she could easily pass for Dutch or German but her brother not so easily. I knew Dutch immigrants --- grew up in Holland who were very dark-skinned with jet-black hair --- all they said was they were Dutch --- I don't know if they had other ancestry --- maybe from the slave trade days or some other Dutch colonies. But they were Dutch and spoke only that language when they first arrived.

I know a "hispanic" guy who was asked fairly often if he was Japanese when he was in the service--- and he thought that was hysterical because he had a different stereotype of Japanese --- short, slanted eyes, not hairy--- which he isn't --- but someone from Japan even told him that in Japan there is a tall and hairier type of person -- more European looking and that he did look just like one of them.
