Is it the Nordic/Viking look you're going for? If so, there are plenty of people with those features living in the lands they raided and settled. Particularly England/Scotland/Ireland. Many Americans whose ancestors came from England and Ireland also have that appearance.

My name's on Ellis Island but it just as easily could've been buried somewhere on Newfoundland...

Yet so many people think 'red hair' is an Irish trait....when actually from what I understand dark hair was more the norm. Until of course Vikings came and had offspring with some of them so that is really a nordic trait that got mixed in with the populace of that region.

True. The standard Celtic look (pre-dating the Vikings) is black/brown hair and blue eyes. Most of Ireland's coastal cities, including Dublin, were founded by Vikings. They also brought a hereditary heart condition that's now common in Ireland.

Interestingly enough I think some of the vikings/nordic people did have darker hair that didn't occur due to other heritage being mixed in. And as far as I can tell, germanic or anglo saxon or whatever people also had a lot of blonde and red hair but not sure nordic and germanic are entirely separate things though some of the pagan traditions pre-dating christianity are quite similar to nordic/viking traditions/beliefs.

Thats basically it.

The Romans conquered the Celts in what is now France, and England. The Germanic barbarian tribes beyond the Rhine and the Danube stayed free of Roman rule. The Scandanavians are an offshoot of the Germanic tribes. So yes Norse is a subset of "Germanic".

Then centuries later when the Roman Empire started to collapse the Germanic Angles and Saxons invaded the part of what had been Roman Britain (the south east) closest to Netherlands and Germany, and pushed the Celts westward into what is now Wales, and western Britain, Scotland, and Ireland. The invading Germanic Angles and Saxons became "the English" the Celts became the modern Scots, Irish, Welsh, and Breton (in part of France). Hense the common pantheon of pagan Gods in England Germany and Scandanavia.

Later still (after the Pagan gods had been abandoned for Christianity) England was raided by the Vikings, and the Danish Vikings almost conquered England, but then got reabsorbed by the Anglo Saxons when Alfred the Great reconquered the Danelaw. So the English are a mix of both mainland and Scandanavian branches of the Germanic folks.

Then Britain got conquered AGAIN by the Norman French. So the English language is a mix of Germanic based Anglo Saxon, and Germanic based Norse, and Latin based French.

Who will look after the migrants and refugees once the Germanic's have been successfully eliminated?

A) Boo is making a joke.

B) the joke goes as follows: the few 100 thousand Syrian refugees will be allowed into Germany, and then will settle in Germany and will...absorb the entire 80 million German population. Intermarry and cause all subsequent generations of Germans to look like Omar Sherriff.

c) So there will be no "refugees" and no host population. They will merge.

D) but the tail will wag the dog: the small population of Syrian refugees will somehow assimilate the big German population.

E) To actually believe that D would happen is of course is totally stupid. And that's the joke.

Got it?

The thread is about blondes vanishing via assimilation. Not via genocide.

I was talking the same topic as the thread.

You dropped in a nonsequitar. So I figured that you didnt understand what we were all taking about.
So I explained it to you.

Do you have a problem with that?

Perhaps you shouldnt go around figuring you think you know what somebody else understands and learn how to improve your manners instead.

If England is any example, the Syrian immigrants won't intermarry. They won't even bother to learn the languages of their new countries, and will live in self-imposed isolation in their own communities.

According to articles such as this:- http://www.express.co.uk/news/world/615466/Vladimir-Putin-refugee-crisis-Islamic-State-ISIS-Syria-Bashar-Assad Thanks to Putin doing what the West has failed to do for political reasons, Syrians are returning back to Syria anyway.

True, ghettos will be formed.

But some of their women might be too desperate to grab some Brit; and there's always a market of men willing to get an easy wife, no matter how broken her English might be.
The term for this is "War bride", right?

This. always. happens.
Look back at history:
Vietnamese women marrying American soldiers...
Immigrant Pole women in UK...

Rings a bell?
Many women coming from war zones often grab men from richer and safer countries when there's opportunity.

Why do you think it will be different this time?

Gee, I wish I didn't have to travel all the way to Scandinavia just to find a physically desirable partner. I don't want to seem that desperate. But I absolutely love Scandinavian features. Unfortunately I believe these features are becoming obsolete sooner than later. Who knows, even in Scandinavia they might already start disappearing.

I feel like a totally bad person because I believe that people want white features to disappear on off the planet.

Only if you have Hispanic or Asian features, it's OK.

I'm really curious; do you have "Scandinavian features", or would you potentially be polluting their gene pool?
