would like to read a study on the ways nonwhite writers over the last couple thousand years have described people in places where hair color and eye color are often not relevant distinguishing factors
Show this thread
obviously there’s hair/eye color variation among nonwhite pops and obviously white ppl can recognize other features as well but i feel like white writers historically have been very reliant on hair/eye color and i’m curious if there are similar “key traits” for other ppl

indian writers in eng from some time ago (esp translaters of mythology and folklore) use lots of nature metaphors (ivory teeth, teardrop nose, flower petal eyes, lion-like mane) - which isn't a deterministic description but still descriptive
