The most Nordic, or Nordid, sub-racial elements of Germany is found in the northwest of the country.<br /><br />Still, in spite of the (slightly disrespectful) tone of your post about the Southern Germans, Bavaria (and Frankfurt-am-Mein, North Rhine-Westphalia) is still the overall economic powerhouse of the German nation (remember that BMW stands for <em>Bavarian</em> Motor Works).<br /><br />Imagine saying the same about the Southern Italians and their economy..?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-227780861638767023.post-62951102611981430512011-08-19T08:29:03.296+01:002011-08-19T08:29:03.296+01:00Well, the women of Spain are definitely slimmer th...Well, the women of Spain are definitely slimmer than the German women. I was shocked to see so many fat chicks in Bavaria (it's not just the Turkish immigrants who put on the weight). Now Prague was impressive: the chicks there are not only slimmer but are much blonder than the Bavarians. <br /><br />If I was a Nordicist I'd definitely be disillusioned after going to Prague. It seems contradictory to put a chubby brunette over a svelte Slavic blonde just because there is a tweak in her genetic makeup and her face might be slightly rounder. Though strangely the Czechs seem to want to emphasize their Germanic roots a little more than you'd expect. I doubt such feelings are reciprocated. <br /><br />Anyway, I found the Germans hospitable and friendly but no one will ever, ever convince me that Bavarians are Nordic. It was fun living in Germany for a couple of months! I stopped being a Medicist thanks to the Bavarian beer. :PAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-227780861638767023.post-16516348341493684382011-08-02T04:59:53.311+01:002011-08-02T04:59:53.311+01:00The very notion of "blue blood" implies ...<em>The very notion of "blue blood" implies fair skin -- skin fair enough to show the blue veins.</em><br /><br />Yes Walther, the medieval, noble and aristocratic Spaniards even were the very first to coin the term "blue bloods" (in Español <em>sangre azul</em>) - showing how conscious they were of their Nordish blood and heritage - and do the best they could to preserve it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-227780861638767023.post-7503097438805971382011-07-19T19:34:56.345+01:002011-07-19T19:34:56.345+01:00All of the upper class throughout European history...All of the upper class throughout European history has been fairer skinned.

I don't have access to an original copy, so I have no idea what the source for those claims is. Struck me as rather funny and dubious when I read it in Christopher Hutton's <i>Race and the Third Reich</i>.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
