red-haired woman with very dark eyes
Except Molly isn’t Jewish, she is German, English, 1/8th Swedish, distant Dutch, and dark eyes are abundant all over Europe.
Ashkenazi Jews have light eyes at rates of approximately the 50% level, give or take 5% or so, and depending on the study.
Green/blue/hazel and mixed light eyes are quite common in Ashkenazim, especially Eastern/Central euro Ashkenazim.
You’re trolling Jews relentlessly on here and have some very deeply seeded inferiority and self loathing issues.
you’re sick.
Light eyes are also fairly common among Jews
Hmmm…no Celtic ancestry? Sorry for generalizing but it’s likely someone who’s White and has red hair is of Celtic descent.
Plenty of english people have red hair.
many Italians seem to have it too
There are some redheads here and there in Italy though most of population is brunette. There are by far more people with light brown/blond hair than red though.
