[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have brown and married a guy with blue. All 3 of our kids have blue eyes. It does help that 7/8 of our grandparents have blue eyes, so clearly I had the gene on my side too.

I think the thing about wanting blue eyes being bad is because it sounds Nazi like. I can see why, but think it's somewhat unfounded. I also wanted my kids to have curly hair and they did. We often want a lot of things for our kids before they're born. Blue eyes used to be super common in America (I think I read 70%?). [/quote]

Why is it unfounded if you even admit that it sounds Nazi like? This kind of preference is absolutely disgusting and racist, and we’ve obviously seen where it can end up if you take it too far.[/quote]

Because there is nothing wrong with having blue eyes. They shouldn't be shunned just because Nazis wanted blonde hair and blue eyed children. It's unfounded because it's just yet another characteristic that babies can get.

Also, coming from a blue eyed family, there are SO many shades of blue eyes. My son got my grandma's watery blue eyes (they're whitish blue) and she cried when she saw them. He was the only one in a few generations with eyes just like hers. The others had more vivid blue eyes. My grandma just saw a piece of herself. [/quote]
Hitler was also vegetarian and Mussolini ran the trains on time. Having blue eyes or vegetarian or liking things to be on time isn't fascist[/quote]

:roll: No one is saying there’s anything wrong with having blue eyes, but if you don’t see a difference between preferring blue eyes (even with all the extensive racist history associated with that preference) and choosing to be vegetarian, you are being intentionally obtuse...and are probably a racist and the kind of person who goes around saying things like “but don’t all lives matter? What’s racist about that?”[/quote]
