I started wondering that about that after posting it. Id assume its similar to brown haired people and thats why its omited?

Just as a psa I didn’t make this. I just wanted to contribute to the coolguides posts from some I had saved in the way past.

I have never seen a blonde or red haired east Asian, south Asian, or African. So it’s not the same as brown.

Possible basically butchers recessive genes(and dominant too if you want to nitpick likely vs possible). Anything is possible if both parents carry a recessive gene. You might as well put blue hair in there because “it’s possible if someone in the family had it before”. It’s a very simplistic explanation of inheritance. It should at least include the grandparent generation to demonstrate how and where recessive genes work. This isn’t really a “guide” - barely an infographic.

I was purposely pointing out something ridiculous that still followed from the “logic” of this guide.

☝️ This guy has great reading comprehension.

This chart lacks an understanding of recessive genes.

Then you’ve got fuckers like me with all three at once.

No bullshit, the effect is pretty cool since it means my beard looks auburn from a distance and what’s left of my hair changes depending on the lighting from reddish brown to a darker strawberry blond.

But, up close, there’s three distinct colors of hair. Well, four now that my beard is going gray.

Only one in my family to turn out like this.

I often joke I have the body hair of three men, three very different men. My head hair is red going on chestnut brown (I still have my first haircut and it hasn’t changed at all), my beard and elsewhere is ginger, my leg hair is almost blonde and my back hair has it’s own nickname - The Black Eagle.

So I am all of the above on that chart.

Yeah, it actually made me wonder. Joke is, my mama went hiking during sasquatch mating season, and no questions were answered.

It’s the Irish and German in the mix, supposedly.
