Why is it so hard to believe?

Question

That black people can have more then just brown eyes without having to be mixed? I'm half black and half Indian, and I have blue eyes. People either think I have contacts or someone in my families white because of my eyes, and my hair texture. Why are people so ignorant?.

Answer 1

I'd believe it. I know that it's possible. For us Asians though, I won't believe it. Light brown is the most different it will get for us.

Answer 2

Well, I guess to them it looks different however, it is really none of their business. The way you look is just you as a person. There are alot of ignorant people in our world. It is up to them to educate themselves not you.

Answer 3

Well you're mixed half black and half Indian.  

Answer 4

What does it matter why people are ignorant?

The main thing is that you have beautiful blue eyes and your inner beauty to guide you.

Be proud and don't worry about what other people think.

Answer 5

It is complete ignorance - lack of awareness and educating themselves.  Many of my black friends (and my ex) hail from other places around the globe (not USA) and their eye colors are all varied.  Brown to green to blue to blue-grey, etc.  Skin color and race do not predetermine eye colors....genetics do.  Most all of us studied genetics at some point in science - even as children in our education.  So, why wouldn't those genetic findings apply to any human and eye color? :) lol
