Devolution

[onering]

I can't believe nobody mentioned that she starts off Aryan and "devolves" to black. I know we all were black back in the day, so its unavoidable, but the starting point being Blonde Hair Blue Eyes really makes it seem racist.

How in the world does that make it seem racist?
Ya know what, don't even answer that because no matter what you say you'll just be wrong.

Actually after she started gettin harier her skin should probably lighten. The hair should serve as somewhat of a barrier to UV.

Well, if you take what I understand to be the current scientific view of the spread of human cultures you have people coming out of Africa and moving to various environments. There their skin lightened and heights on average decreased to deal better with cooler climates. For example, if they were showing a Native American in this sequence they would revert to looking more Asian first followed by then growing darker skinned...So no its not technically racist, as that was the progression of skin color and such as determined by the currently most accepted theories in anthropology. So lets stop the PC train please.

Aryan's aren't blonde and are not blue eyed. That's a nordic trait. Aryan's would be Iranians and people of Indian descent. Learn the basics of history before making accusations.

He's referring to Adolph Hitler and the Aryan/Dravidian Myth. Perhaps that is why he sees racism in it. After all, Hitler was the most famous racist of all time.

Hitler was also a famous economist too. Don't forget he brought Germany out of a depression.

Godwin's law in effect, people.

Oh come on guys, please don't turn this into a political/ social/ historical discussion ok ?
Well i honestly don't think the TF subject was choosen with any racistic
agenda behind it !
If someone wants to perceive something negative , he will probably find it anywhere.
And for racism in general: I think any halfway intelligent person should be
able to penetrate this aryan/ nordic superiority bullshit theories, the idiots who brought them up used to be complete nutjobs.

(Geez, i wonder if any Werewolf TF would ever cause such a reaction )

Right! Only in the Indic and Iranian branches of Indo-European did the form *h2erio- become applied to a racial name. In other branches, it would mean something like "fellow tribesperson."

The Nazis misunderstood that to terrible results.

In fact, it's impossible to know the eye colour and hair colour of the people the Nazis were trying to refer to. It's only by pure luck that the hair colour of any ancient person is known, through art or mummification or writing...
And there are always variations!

Anyway, this TF isn't purposefully racist. It simply goes back through the human history.
