I'm from the Maldives (Asia) and I've brown eyes and black hair and tanned skin (not dark yer not whity-white. Ever from my childhood I've dream t of having blue eyed blond kids. I don't know why?
As I grew up little by little I came to know that our country was a place where people (travelers on ships - long long ago) came and stayed for months and a mixed raced was formed.
Amongst the travelers were Middle Eastern, African, Western, Far Eastern and South Asians. Of course the South Asians were the dominant and the first were the least and as a result we don't have any surviving blonds or blue eyes.
However, our skins are in ranges of fair, brown and dark. Our hair is either brown or black. The eyes are also mainly brown, black but there are lighter colours like gray too.
Much later I noticed that my skin was a bit reddish like the Mediteraians (we've got the Meds as visitors very often in the past). Also I've noticed when in the sun my hair is not actually black but brown. Also I've seen a few 'blond/golden' like hairs inside my nostrils.
Soon I was much convinced that my ancestors must be some where not from Asia. (Maybe this is the reason I don't like the local food with spices). And maybe this is the reason why I'm so inclined to get 'blue eyed blond kids'. Maybe my genes are asking me to migrate (something that came to me while I was in my 4th grade - I thought that I don't like this place and live in the West - haha CRAZY)
