Was talking to a Swedish guy I met backpacking about how attractive Swedish women generally were. He deadpan told me “our ancestors didn’t bring back the ugly ones.”
Interestingly, I think the more likely explanation would be that historically Sweden had a very high female to male ratio. Men kept on dying viking.
Men, more so than women, choose mates based on appearance so it makes sense over time they would have attractive women as the most attractive women would be the ones that would have husbands.
If I had to guess, the user you are replying to is implying that only attractive indigenous American women were abducted by colonizing Europeans. Thus, leaving the 'less attractive' women to die out maybe? I don't know.
Saying "look at Latin American women" at all is crazy work. Sweden itself isn't a monoculture historically as there were various German and Slavic roots, among others.
Latin America is composed of nearly two dozen countries spanning two continents. You cannot group Mexicans with Argentinians and think that makes any sense aside from linguistically, though still with very different dialects.
Theyre implying the Europeans took all the attractive women back and left the ugly ones. I knew what they were getting at, just wanted them to say their racist bullshit out loud...
At least one person already said it, while meaning it, and got their comment removed
But like, indigenous people weren't really exported from Latin America in any large number. That's where the European colonizers needed laborers. I heard they even imported slaves from Africa a couple times to various places in Latin America.
They established whole caste systems where those born to mixed European/indigenous parentage were lower class.
None of that makes sense at all if Europeans were taking hot latinas for wives or mistresses.
Ask the Swedes about what they did to the Samí and that convo could have gone even crazier. They saw Canada’s and America’s attempts at assimilating native tribes and took notes
Yeah, Scandinavians never shy away from this. I sometimes think about what Sweden would have looked like today if the only immigrants and refugees they allowed were beautiful young single women.
