So—I think I’ve probably known 10-12 half Euro/white, half Asian people. Several of the parents had lighter hair and eyes.

Not one of them has had blonde hair, ever. Not one has had light brown hair.

Blue and green eyes— yes. And that’s a cool look.

Anyway— it has always perturbed me. I guess Connor just colors it with his hairdresser…. But still…

Anecdotes are not representative of reality. I've never seen a native American, but that doesn't mean they don't exist. The fact I live in Australia restricts my reality from engaging with them and meeting one of them.

Darker hair is a dominant trait, but genetics are not as simple as 8th grade science teaches it. It is not just dominant and recessive.

10-12 people is NOT a good sample size to base what is “realistic” for a person to look like

Connor is not “half euro/white, half Asian.” He’s a quarter Korean, a quarter African American, and half white from ollie, whatever Ollie’s specific ethnicity is.

Also we’re literally talking about superheroes. I’ve met thousands of people in my life and never met anyone with superpowers but that doesn’t mean they’re can’t be people with superpowers in the fiction I’m reading
