LIGHTEYES AND
BRIGHTHAIR
IN WHICH I SHALL ENDEAVOR TO GIVE A BRIEF EXPLANATION OF
MY REASONING FOR A SIMPLE SOLUTION TO THE ISSUE OF
RACISM, IN SUCH A WAY THAT IT WILL SEEM TO BE OBVIOUS IN
RETROSPECT.

 Discrimination by skin pigmentation is still a large issue in

world society, and the cause of many fights, riots, and jail
time. Whether a person is Caucasian, Asian, African, Native
American, Polynesian, or other ethnicity, there will be
someone who discriminates against them due to their race.
Obviously, this is a great issue in society, and something
must be done about it.

 It is my honest belief that if we are to discriminate by skin

color, then why should we not instead determine social class
through eye color? Eye color is much less limited by racial
heritage and homeland than skin color is, and thus is a much
better choice. It has been computed that the least common
eye colors are amber, silver, and green; while the most
common are blue, hazel, and finally brown. Obviously, those
with green, amber, and silver eye colors are special, and
should thus be set above normal folk, due to their rarity.

 Similarly, the least common hair color is red, followed by blond,

brown, and black. So it stands to reason that if our nobles and high
society are set apart by the rarity of their eye color, they should also
be set apart by the shade of their hair. So, logically, the leaders of
society should be those with light eyes and light hair, which is of
course a better situation for all. After all, if their genetics are such
that they have these rarities, their intelligence will be greater to
match, versus the obvious dullness of the dark-eyed and dark-haired
masses.

 Of course, some may say that this plan would result in

greater troubles and unrest, but I say, of course it would!
Most lighteyed, brighthaired people are Irish or northwestern
European, so of course there would be some troubles; but
once they are in charge, wars would be fought much more
efficiently.

Thusly, I may say, do not try to tell me of increased awareness

of racism, or more community concern, for these things will be
of no use unless all people learn to accept others despite
having differing skin colors.
