I'm Hjaltlandic and my heritage is Shetlandic (most my ancestors came from the Shetland Isles) and Anglo-Saxon.

I agree with Nordicism however not blondism and i believe their is no superiority in blonde hair.

If you revise Viking/Norse written history, ie the Vinland sagas or old nordic manuscripts such as the Landnámabók (Icelandic book of settlement) very few Norsemen had blonde hair.

Here is an example of Norseman hair colours (recorded in viking bynames/nicknames) from the Icelandic Landnámabók:

inn rauði/rauðr (red haired) - 13

brún (Brown haired) - 7

Gull/ inn hárfagri (Gold/Light haired) 2

As you can see the majortity of norse were red haired, while the rest were brown haired.

Blonde/golden hair was in fact rare amongst the vikings.
Furthermore most viking greats were red or brown haired ie. Erik the Red (named after his red hair).

"red heads are predicted to be extinct in 100 years", this is what it says in our OWN forum. dont get me wrong but blonde hair and blue eyes are the basics of nordicism and not agreeing with blondism means your only half as good to our community, you dont have to necessarily BE blonde to be a part of our community, but even if you partially dont agree with us i dont think you should be a part...

The inventor of Nordicism was William Z. Ripley who wrote The Races of Europe: A Sociological Study in about 1890. (later revised by charleton coon).

Ripley never claimed blonde hair was Nordic (infact he never metioned hair colour).

He claimed the Nordic (or "Teutonic" race as he sometimes preffered) was defined by:

"A long-skull (dolichocephalic), tallness, slender. Green, gray or blue eyes and pale skin."

Ripley never mentioned anything about blonde hair (where has blonde hair come from?)

"Nordicness" is not defined by blonde hair.

Albinos (ie negroid albinos) have blonde hair does that make them Nordic?

 

And above i already provided evidence that the majority of vikings/norsemen were red or brown haired not blonde.

"Nordic race, particularly Scandinavians and Germans, would constitute a master race" both the majority of scandinavians and germans are BLONDE HAIRED and blue eyed, this would mean blonde hair and blue eyes are the MAJORITY looks of nordics and not just teutonic or tallness or whatever(not saying that isnt included with the blonde hair and blue eyes).

Look My friend. Im blond and have light eyes. the blonde thing is not what makes me nordic okay ? I study anthopology and the only one who said anything about the blonde hair on Nordics was the nazis. That was a lie. The ones with blonde hair and blue eyes could also be phaelians.  To be nordic is more about morphology. You have to have a long narrow head and a long thin nose. I dont know wich race you belong to but i can assure you that you are 100% not nordic.
