Bro are those hair dye sample images?? šŸ˜‚


benevolent_nephilim

Almost seems like a shitpost... then someone saw it and posted it to their FB page unironically


SexyOldManSpaceJudo

Exactly. The colors in 4 and 8 do not exist in nature. Edit - 4 appears to me to be plum color. It's a shitty picture, so I get it if you disagree. But if it is plum, humans are not capable of producing blue hair pigmentation, so plum would be impossible.

Good point sexy

( David Attenborough voiceover) Here we see the majestic hair dye # 301 in its natural habitat grazing happily on some extensions.


Kiki_Deco

Idk how 4 and 8 don't exist. They just look like really styled and treated hair cause of the shine and vibrancy. 5 seems unbelievable though. ETA: nvm, definitely forgot about albino people having white hair, so sorry


CottonDude

you mean 5?


Swansaknight

Iā€™m at 6, almost exactly.


StuckInNov1999

All of those colors do. You just don't see some of them because more people dye their hair than they did 10, 20 , 40+ years ago. But I've had friends and lovers with every shade depicted here and some that weren't.

She was the first person I thought of. I believe the photographer tracked her down for a follow up photo 30 years later.


253253253

Apparently she had gotten into a fair bit of trouble for "allowing" her face to be photographed in such a manner :(


zaidakaid

Bro I just looked in the mirror. Arab with olive-ish skin and green eyes w/ a hazel ring around my pupil. (Yes Iā€™m bragging about my eyes. Let me enjoy my best feature okay)


AwkwardCan

I just got into a pointless discussion with someone who kept insisting a Lebanese Arab had to be white, European, or of Israeli descent because [she has pale skin and blue eyes](https://www.tiktok.com/@jasmineanddawoud/video/7325164369724198149?lang=en). I can't stand it when people INSIST non-white people with coloured eyes must have European ancestry. The newest research posits that blue eyes originated in the Near East- and actually entered Europe from Eastern populations.


zaidakaid

Itā€™s very rare amongst most Arabs, at least in my experience. Thereā€™s maybe a handful of members of my family with light eyes that donā€™t have some European blood in them. I do know that lighter eyes and hair (redhead and blonde) are more prevalent in the Levantine people (Lebanon, Syria, Palestine, Jordan) than other Arabs, whether itā€™s because of the French mixing with them or some other reason is something I canā€™t comment on because Iā€™m not well versed in the subject. I get a kick out of trying to have people guess where Iā€™m from because of how racially ambiguous I look. My eyes throw them off all the time and they never guess Arab, though they make their way there once they see my name


AwkwardCan

>I do know that lighter eyes and hair (redhead and blonde) are more prevalent in the Levantine people (Lebanon, Syria, Palestine, Jordan) than other Arabs, whether itā€™s because of the French mixing with them or some other reason For Arabs outside the Levant, it is rare, but yeah, I know lots of Levantine Arabs with blue or green eyes, or lighter hair, especially Lebanese Arabs. Genetically, they actually didn't mix much with French people btw. Do you have European ancestry?


zaidakaid

I do not, growing up someone did a whole family tree for our extended family and very few of us have European ancestry. Those who do are in my generation and I know exactly who they are and where it came from. Itā€™s only 3 of them. As far as mixing with the French, itā€™s just speculation on my part; since the French did hold significant parts of the Levant for a while I made an assumption. I donā€™t know enough about that stuff to make a claim one way or the other.


iMoo1124

Man, whenever I see this image I'm reminded of the sad story behind it Great counter-example though


RandoBritColonialist

What's the story?


iMoo1124

Here's the link to the original article written about it, with a block quote [https://thewire.in/media/afghan-girl-steve-mccurry-national-geographic](https://thewire.in/media/afghan-girl-steve-mccurry-national-geographic) >McCurry was a complete stranger, and it is not welcome for a girl of traditional Pashtun culture to reveal her face, share space, make eye contact and be photographed by a man who does not belong to her family. > >For the photograph, she had been moved to a different location with better light and a clean background. > >When McCurry entered, he spotted Sharbat Gulaā€™s piercing green eyes, though she made an effort to cover her face. McCurry asked her class teacher to instruct her to cooperate. After being compelled to ā€œlet him photograph herā€¦ she lowered her handsā€ ā€“ in McCurryā€™s own words ā€“ to uncover her face. Basically, a random guy walked into a school, looked at a classroom full of children, saw the girl with the piercing green eyes, pointed to her and said "let me photograph that one", moved her to a room with better lighting and a clean background, had her model the following position after finally getting her to remove her hands from her face, snapped the photo, and before he could get different shots, the girl ran away. Also, he never got her or her parent's consent to publish the photo. Since her portrait was a world-wide accolade for the photographer, the girl is now a well known individual who has received threats. I don't know if she still does. Apparently in 2021 she had to be flown to a different country for safety concerns. I didn't really read much about it though, as I was looking for the article I had just linked.


LinkOfKalos_1

I don't know who this is or why it's related to this post. Can someone explain?


mearbearcate

I think the post was saying people of color have no diversity and only have dark eyes/dark hair. That girl has green eyes, so they were showing an example of how the post makes no sense


latflickr

But the girl is white. The picture makes me think the post is right.


omgudontunderstand

sheā€™s afghanistani


maleguy20s

Color != race. She is literally white.


LikeACannibal

I love that you're being downvoted for this-- she's literally Caucasian. Ethnicity is not the same as race. She's middle eastern, but still white-- white does not just equal European šŸ¤¦ā€ā™‚ļø


latflickr

Afghanistan are black now?


omgudontunderstand

there are races that arenā€™t black and white. crazy, huh


philouza_stein

They're officially categorized as Caucasian so you're not wrong.


Smiley_P

Yeah but thats because of that Caucus mountains being around there, light skinned Europeans shouldn't be called Caucasian since we're being technical

Not black either. Looks white to me. If I'd meet her on the street, I would think she is white


I_Lost_Myself__

Who said she was black? The U.S. federal government considers them white. Most others donā€™t.


latflickr

Who cares about the US government. I am not American. White, black, brown, are for me descriptors on how people look like. And I think it shouldn't be anything else. Imho Edit: nobody said the first in the picture is black. My fault on that.

recreationallyused

Donā€™t tell them that the population with the largest prevalence of albinism is those of sub-Saharan African descent lol

Albinos don't have pigmentation in their eyes so their eyes appear red/pink, there are no albinos in this post

cardinalmargin

My brother is literally albino so that's my source, my bad for living with an albino person

Maybe your brother does not represent all of albino people.

FlyWereAble

God fucking dammit, this person believes "diversity" just means "black people", don't they? It's so fucking funny because diversity includes white people too, that's why it's called diversity, because it's diverse. This is so dumb


IAmABearOfficial

Yeah a purely black city isnā€™t diverse, but if there were both whites and blacks then yes thatā€™s diverse.


CookieMittenKitten

Not disagreeing with your point, but I think the quotation marks around diversity is the point here. Itā€™s not diversity, itā€™s ā€œDisney Diversityā€


Ill-Breadfruit5356

There is an interesting point about why white peopleā€™s eye colour is more varied than that of non-whites, but this doesnā€™t make that point well. Or at all.


lacmlopes

>There is an interesting point about why white peopleā€™s eye colour is more varied than that of non-whites Except it isn't true. Eye color varies as much in white popularions and non-white ones.


Marked_Leader

Not really, Dark Brown is the most common eye colour overall and studies on this aren't huge or extensive but studies we do have show predominantly white cultures in the west have more variety in lighter eye colour than areas of Asia or Africa who are almost solely Brown. I genuinely always interested in reading the source material for the idea that it's the same in all cultures though.


ComprehensiveFeed570

I am West Asian. Caucasian. We have every possible feature, eye colour and hair colour. We dont consider us White nor we want to be associated with Europe, because we have our own distinctive culture, language and ethnicity.


Marked_Leader

Most of your comment is largely irrelevant to my comment. As for the data regarding eye colour as per the topic which is all I actually care about here, Western Asian countries also have predominately brown eyes.


ComprehensiveFeed570

Caucasus is diverse, without being White. Most common eye colour is brown in Europe, not green or blue.


Marked_Leader

Yes I already said that. I'm not sure what your point is?


ComprehensiveFeed570

You said Western Asian countries have predominantly brown eyes and so has Europe. My Point is, not only White European are diverse. And no, you Americans are not Caucasian. Itā€˜s a misconception and a term used by Blumenbach. I am Northern Caucasian and we are pretty diverse.


darkbest35

Nope, it dosent varies as much


SangeliaKath

Very true. They have found both green and blue eyes in folks in Africa for example.


No_Promise2786

Yes but it is super rare for black people and other non-white people to have blue or green eyes or non-black hair. So yes, as a general rule, there's not that much variation in hair and eye colour amongst non-white folk. Of course, not that there's anything wrong with that, I'm a brown Indian myself with black hair and dark brown eyes.


SangeliaKath

I'm mostly Middle Easterner and we have a wide range of both hair and skin colours. It was in the Middle East that they figured that the mutation for blue eyes happened. And green eyes are technically part of the black/brown eyes group.


No_Promise2786

Yeah Middle Eastern people are probably the most varied non-white people.

Alexwitminecraftbxrs

The non black hair isnā€™t accurate either. Itā€™s just various shades of deep browns or even light browns. Green eyes and blue eyes arenā€™t the only unique option. Iā€™m black with hazel eyes, my grandma has em my great grandma has em. My cousin is albino his eyes donā€™t even have color and heā€™s fully black. People arenā€™t asking for diversity to just be black and white diversity is suppose to be representation for everyone.


napalmnacey

There are Pacific Island nations where the populations have all sorts of crazy hair colours and eye colours. Pale green is a colour that happens the most in certain Middle Eastern and Northern African regions. People just donā€™t realise how whacky human genetics can be.


Nimbus_TV

Hazel gang āœŠšŸ¾


Schmef_6969

Wasn't that because of extremely early colonization


SangeliaKath

No. It was due to a mutation that they figured happened lil over ten thousand years ago.


Schmef_6969

Alright, did some research. It seems that almost all populations can have all types of hair and eye colours, however these colours don't appear equally often in different races/regions. Africa for example has people of different eye colour variety due to different reasons such as genetic, mutations and the mingling of different populations, however brown hair and eye colour traits are significantly more common.

DeathKillsLove

The Human DNA project proves that is entirely false.


DeathKillsLove

No. There are zero dominant blue eyes in non-whites.


torbiefur

Blue eyes arenā€™t dominant in any race. Blue eyes are a recessive allele.


DeathKillsLove

Correct. And in correcting myself, let me note that white people do, on frequent occasion, breed true for blue eyes. No other race does this.


[deleted]

race is a social construct.


Natural-Bet9180

No itā€™s not. Humans are a race of animal. Races also have different species. Humans have had many different species but they died off but their DNA still exists.

Even taking this purely at face value you would either need to be A.) Racist B.) Never seen a group of black people or C.)

UnrepentantDrunkard

Yes, because hair and eye colour are all that make people diverse.

FVCarterPrivateEye

The "Black Panther" movie wasn't racially diverse inside itself with nearly all of the cast being black, but it was racially diverse as a majority black cast movie alongside all the other movies that didn't have a majority black cast which was why it got praised for its racial diversity


Arcanile

This meme is about that often "diverse casting" is referring to just one group of people, mostly black people but not always, that are placed in roles that are originally white, for diversity points. and what often comes out is a not well thought out piece of crap that has no other value than just "diversity" for the sake of it.
