A more interesting conversation might be focused on how blue eyes are portrayed as something desirable and worthy of note in all forms of media. OP formed her preference based on something. I always notice mention of tow-heads and blue eyes in magazine articles. [/quote]

Portrayed? It’s because they’re pretty. Nobody thinks the color brown in general is pretty. It’s…brown. Blue is the pretty color of the sky, the ocean, and light eyes.[/quote]

I feel like this is a bit of a fail on the part of the American education system. It’s not just that people don’t know that a preference for blue eyes has in the past been associated with racism, but they keep responding that there cannot be a connection because of some random, unrelated fact or opinion.

I don’t actually think a preference for blue eyes is racist or even always biased but to say the claim is absurd, having done no research about it, is a pretty ignorant way to go about life. [/quote]
